Hey I'm up in Ruston, LA. Anyone have a good place in North La who's good at tuning? (Prestige is closed by the time I could drive the 3 hrs down to Lafayette.)

Checking in, Ive been out of the game for a while, but bought myself a 1LE the other day, so I'm back in the game!

Glad to see a thread for Laffy. Looking forward to getting out and meeting some of you guys.


Are there any tuners/shops worth a damn around Lafayette?

No. Go to Baton Rouge and pick your poison. Either Alan at Futral or Geoff at EPS.

I wish I could but my weekend to work,but on a high note I did drive 1 & 1/2hrs to No Problem Raceway and ran a 12.5,then a 12,8,then a 11.9 @120.64mph w/1.9 60ft then drove back another hour and a half back home with stock 10bolt intact so I was happy with my lil 347! More in it if I set it up to leave harder but I'm on 18" Nitto 555R dr's so it is what it is.

Blat. We need a spot on the South side of town... The BETTER side.

Also, that triple gauge pis looks like a regular run of the mill auto meter... Nothing different.

Thanks! I need to buy some track wheels/tires but I'm happy at this point being able to run 11's on this setup. After I build the rear I'll invest in a good set and go back and launch around 5-6k and see what it does.

I missed the morning meet, but was out and about on a date and stumbled onto a gathering at Alberston's on the north end of Ambassador at about 8pm on Saturday night, was anyone here at that gathering, and is that something that happens regularly?

Seemed to be a lot of imports, but there were a few Americans in the mix as well. I didn't stop as I was on a date, but it was nice to see a gathering none the less.
