I don't go to BJ's that often. Truthfully, I have never been. I stopped when the rice got us ran off from Sonic. But plenty of people from that board go. Alot of local performance business shop owners are major members of the board. Tracy, Tony, and some guys that work at Wells. Plenty of knowledge from all different types of backgrounds. Some people find a happy medium between the two boards, I never could. Just something about another person trying to tell me how to drive my car on the street.....
River City F-Bodies in no way promotes street racing. Street racing is illegal! If a member is street racing and doing so in the name of River City F-Bodies, membership may be terminated with a majority vote of club members present at a monthly meeting or by unanimous approval of club officers.
No thanks.

They're all a bunch of old *****, who would rather polish their car than drive it! Elmer's car is nice, but he's in the same boat, and most people from the ls1.com days will agree he's a tool.
As far as exhaust work in JAX, Rainbow on Cassat will do whatever you want them to, and for install work. Spend some time on jaxracing, have thick skin, and maybe some of the guys from there will help you out.
Did I mention **** Rivercity F-Bodies?

When I used to have an ls1 I used to take all my stuff to orlando to mike norris. He does quality work. He's the only guy I trust anywhere near n/e florida.
