Default Hi from Winter Haven / Lakeland

Just was reading some old posts and thought I would say hi to everyone in polk. I have a 01 FireHawk, black/black, 6sp, 1LE suspension, auburn, chrome wheels, slp long tubes, elect cutouts, bolt on's, blah blah blah. Since it only has 6k miles you wont see me that much, but hope to meet all of you sometime. I am seriously thinking about a head/cam package, kinda bored with the car and have to do something. Know anyone in Lakeland / Polk that can handle it? I live in Winter Haven off of 540 by cypress gardens.

there are plenty of us in lakeland, heads and cam are a good start. There are several vendors between tampa and orlando that can get the job done.

Good to meet you all. After calling a few places, I think I am just going to do a big cam. Didnt plan on spending more than $2,500 for head/cam but I'm pretty sure it would be more than that.

if you are looking for a good combo, look at my for sale thread in here. I have not had anyone actually commit to them yet. You get the cash first they are yours.

Looks like the heads/cam are 2+ years old? How many miles on them?

yes they are. There is about 3-4k on them. The are just as good as any of the ones currently out on the market today. I am going with a whole different setup so will not be using them.

Going very nice I have almost everything mocked up on the stand and I have parts everywhere. I still have to do the fuel system and put all of the new suspension parts / rear end in her. Hopefully by the end of feb I will get her to you for the cage and subframes then off to get a fresh paint job

shooting to have her back on the streets in april.. .. this car has got more christmas presents then I have ever got in my life
