Ok...I'm intimidated!

I see tons of camaro owners....any T/A owners in the area at all!? I'm beginning to think I'll have to sell and run out to buy a camaro before I move to Missouri in two weeks! (I know it says I'm there now....I lied!)

I'll be posting a few dozen basic questions in the next few days...no worries, I'll incorporate them all in one message! It will be stuff like "500cfm, 600cfm, 750cfm...is it just better to get the most I can afford?" I hope that is ok.

Until then...tah-tah!
