Default New guy in Tampa!

My name is Nick and I'm 21 and I'm currently deployed in Iraq. I gought a 2000 SS on leave and have been ordering parts for it ever since. I'm pretty much done with the exterior the suspension but the engine still needs lot of work. I'll be out of Iraq in about a month and a half then I have a month of peace and quite back in tampa.

No **** lol. How long are you deployments in the Navy? Do you plan on doing any mods to your T/A on leave?

about 7 or 8 months nowadays. Still too long lol, i hate them, this is my third one as far as the firehawk, it has a few mods already, its a H/C car with a couple bolt ons and a wet kit. It dynoed 502 before i left on a 100 shot (shut down at 5400 because it went lean), but its jetted for a 150 shot now, I will need another Nitrous controller though as mine **** the bed. Also i may eventually be doing a 6.0 forged with a big shot or budget turbo build. thats later though

I've been here for 14 months now so I have a pretty good Idea of what you talking about lol. Your H\Firehawk sounds sick dude sounds like it'll haul some ***. Take care of yourself out there you hear and take it easy man. I'll post an album when I get all of my parts installed here in a few weeks
