v6 members from florida

Hi all how you been. I am moving to florida to go to school at MMI in orlando. I wont have my truck down there off the bat but will bring it down later. I was wondering who lives in the area I'd love to see modified v6's eventually.

Doward here..

The turbo's over in Ocala. I'm about 45 minutes from Orlando... can run 441 down OBT, or the turnpike. I'm going to Orlando Speed World right after the holidays, to get a baseline on the MTC-5 / 3.1 combination, and see if more or less cam, exhaust, intake, etc is needed...

I run at Gainesville raceway, mostly, but they shut down until the spring!

Hey streets I've been in marine diesel (CAT and MAN experience, some John Deere and Nothern Lights generators) for 18 years, good field to be in and good $.

Good luck, from what i have seen of your truck (I followed your progress on S-series.org) you should go far.
