Found one, thanks!



Yeah, I'd love to come up for a visit! Love how my car rides with your springs.
Dude, I love your Fire Chicken! I was just talking to a guy at work about it recently. I live in the Tampa area and have a 800whp C6 and 1st gen CTS-V. Currently deployed but I definitely want to see the Hawk in person at some point. I get back towards the end of July.


Florida Speed and Power in Bradenton has done all the work to my Vette and will be installing the blower/cam/Meth/etc in the Caddy when I'm ready. Great prices, Matt Sorian is a tuning wizard... Not the fastest though. As long as you aren't in a huge rush FSP is where to go IMO.

Anyways, hope to see some of you around!

That's a huge change of pace lol I used in live in San Francisco ...welcome to south west Florida. I'm in Cape Coral. About an hr away.

Thanks! Let me know when you're back in town. I've got a few SOCOM buddies in Tampa. Thanks for the heads up on FSP. Been looking for someone reliable around here, and they're right by our new favorite Cuban restaurant.

My TA is down with a bad alternator. Can anyone recommend a mechanic in Bradenton that will install the Tahoe alternator? I already have the alternator. Seems like the chain shops won't do it. Thanks!

Kyle that works here has a shop in Temple Terrace, if you can get it up here he will get you hooked up. If not, FSP will be your best bet
