Fast Forward motorwerks is in sarasota. Not a sponsor so PM me for the # and directions to the shop. They use a Dyno Dynamics Dyno and it is home to one of the fastest porsche's in the country. They are pretty good at what they do.

I'm in Palmetto which is in the same area and I work in Sarasota off of University. I'd just like to see a group of Sarasota f-body's get together like the Stangers do up in Bradenton. Need the f-body's to represent
