Default Re: West Central Florida

this would best be found in teh southern forums. heck www.camaroz28.com has their own florida forum! i would try norris motorsports as well as corvette connection in ft. myers. i think there is a vinci motorsports in orlando as well. go try http://64.91.224.64/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi that is a tampa bay area group as well as http://www.sffba.net/forum/. they are both good sources with the second having more posts and memebers.

by the way i am from southwest florida - reason i know this info. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I have a friend that is a mechanic and does installs on the side for money. He did my car and is really the only person I let work on my car except me <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> I don't even let the dealership they give me the parts and I install them on my own lol <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> Give me a call if you want 305-299-3391 and I will direct you to him.

Well if you want a warranty on the work.. I would get in contact with the guy who did my shortblock.. Email me for the #.. Orlando is right up the road.. I live in Seminole, Florida... Take my advice.. Make an appt.. Oh yeah, Joe99SS is in the Tampa area.. He has this shops full package.. He ran 11.33 at 119mph, I think a 3500 stall and 3.23 gears.. Raceweight is 3550lbs..

Exactly what Vince said...

You could check out www.BADRAP.net (we're based out of Tampa) and talk to some peeps over there... alot of knowledge and points of contact there, too.

Ditto what the other guys said... Norris Motorsports is a great place to deal with and Mikey knows his stuff... I ran 11.33@119 with his stage 2 heads/cam... Also, check out www.badrap.net as mentioned above also for a local group of guys...
