There's a place in Kirkland called Carburetor Connection. Heard good stuff from them and plan on taking my car there after a few more mods.

13611 NE 126th Pl. Suite 240 Kirkland, WA. 98034

Gotcha, I saqw how far South that place was and I was like hmm that might be a drive, but if it is a recommended place then that's gotta be a good thing.

The wife and I are looking at visiting Franklin TN since we are thinking of moving from CA and I was looking up the car scene around Nashville.

It's good from what I hear, I am down in SoCal, I grew up in the SF bay area but man CA is just a pain to live in and not worth the price tag.
