I'll probably settle around Aiken, maybe Pendleton.

So, what crucial things do I need to know about living in the Carolinas?
Well, you'll be in SC so you don't have to worry about emissions, it's really frick'n hot, but most of all we like to have GTGs. I'm sure someone in SC can add the real important things unlike myself.

Sc inspections are non-existent!
Honestly I'd Stick with living in NE columbia (blythewood) or a little further north up 77, most of our events are in the charlotte area. Not convenient to all but to most it is. I'm in Lexington and it's only 2 hours for me. Aiken would be too far of a drive for most of our stuff.

Rock hill is 30 min south of Charlotte, 1 hr north of Columbia, 3.5 hrs from beach, 2 hrs from mtns, closer to most of the get togethers, and most importantly no emissions lol

My HVAC guy took his Shelby back down to see Dan today. I didn't know he was going until this morning but he finally got a real CAI instead of the choking BBK that was on there and added an Aux idler pulley to it. Dan pulled almost 70 more horse out of it!! He went from 553 to 620. I didn't get the new tq #.

I'm sure Chuck is happy.

Pic from last time when I went down with him.

Now I think he's got them putting some LCA's on it because he scared himself on the test drive. LOL.

He had to pull it back some. Went lean. I think he ended at 584 /587 or something like that.
