Default Gulf coast meet Mobile/Pensacola Area

New to the fast truck game, hopefully will meet some other like minded individuals in the area swap parts and maybe go on a midnight run or trip to the dragstrip. Shout if your in the area and interested.

Honestly i'm not sure. I have a few friends into the car scene and all but we all work out of country or out of town so we don't get much going unless we manage to be there at the same time. But the dragstrip just opened up recently in Holt so it should pick back up.

On another note, we can try to get some people up in May when I'm home. Very few truck guys I know of though lol

Sweet sounds good, yeah money is good out of town.

I know of a few guys in my neck of the woods mostly vettes and mustangs, and I can't keep up at the moment.

I've got a damn good tuner. I could introduce you. He tuned the ws6 on street outlaws. Currently doing my build for me. We can get you up there lol. I posted about getting a meet going and have one interested already. Could probably turn it into a test and tune.

Sweet, sounds like it could be a good time, currently researching 4l60e build or 4l80e swap. Went and picked up a trailer of building supply, truck didn't like it. Definitely gonna get a cooler.

And yes, as mentioned above. John Weeks of XXX Tuning is the man as far as tuning goes. He has a very impressive resume dating back about 14-15 years if my memory is correct.

Yes he does. He used to be the owner if I remember correctly, but now just works out of the shop and his laptop. Good people too. Happens to be a friend of mine and helped me get my last truck buried out by his house.

I'm not very knowledgeable on the differences a 4l80e provides being that I never made it that far in a build on the last ones. And now i have the 6l80e.. But what I do know is a 4l60e is junk. Hurst transmissions guaranteed me that mine wouldn't blow after they rebuilt it and gave me a lifetime warranty on it.
