My uncle tunes with LS1 Edit, and they have a DynoJet in their shop. About 80 miles from Longview in Palestine. He does a very good job, and is well respected. Ask around about Montee's Auto World, you wont be disappointed. Hell, I will even go down there with you if you would like.

Sorry for restarting the thread but i'm in longview too. I usually see guys sitting in the wingstop parking lot off the loop and gilmer, not the loop and fourth, but it's usually ricers and/or rednecks. never noticed any f-bods, or I'd pull in in a heartbeat.
But as for longview being boring, I have been having more trouble finding people to have fun with on the weekends, especially now with the construction on the loop and 259. Maybe it'll pick back up once we get three lanes all the way down

however there are 2 guys driving turbo civics that are cool, one of them is running in the low 12's; they are not the typical ricer guys
and my truck of course, it has an f-body heart

Usually on a friday or saturday night around 9-10 you'll catch a few f bodies. But yeah if you show up at the wrong time you'll see a bunch of hillrod trucks or rice lol. My car has been on jackstands for the past too weeks so I havent been out. i'll be out with it tomorrow if the weather is good.
Whataburger on Gilmer rd has a huge cruise night on the first Thurs of every month so next week I will be there for sure!

Yeah my dad usually takes his stuff up there when they're decent(how often do you go? They are recognizable cars if you've been in the past year) and Me and my buddies walk through occasionally.
I'll be bringing my car next month, my wheels aren't in yet
By that time I won't be a high schooler anymore...Yes my dad bought me the car(for pretty cheap) but I spend my own money on mods, do all the work myself, and take good care of it.
