I thought you guys would like to see a video of the Trans Am out for the break-in of the motor. This was shifting at 5000rpm. The motor is loosening up as time goes by. I am still undecided whether I want to put a restrictor place on it to run AI or just let it go and run AIX.
Notice the highly tuned 140,000 mile GM springs!!

OEM block and stock heads... ;) :lol:Quote:

I don't know if I am going to have it ready before fall. I am going to have everything done but the cage. I might just run it in the TT group until next season.
AI or CMC?Quote:

Mine is 100% AI...always has been. Only thing I been chasing this year is a black foxbody GT with a leaky gas tank! :lol:Quote:

There is a pretty good reason to run X this year though because Hoosier has stepped up with a great tire program and there are 3 or 4 guys running it this year.
See ya soon!

What are "manties"?
Won't tell you till you get the car to track for a race.... :wink:Quote:

the Bro? (think Sinfeld)
BVD's?
a jock strap?
All still too manly... How about a barbie doll dressed like a Ken doll glued to their trunk lid standing up...?Quote:

Raymon, you will come to realize that Matt posts to himself a lot of the time. :shock:
Car sounds great! Need to hit a few NASA events ...
Thanks Mitch. I am working on finding a set of coilovers right now. I am leaning towards the Cround Control with the Koni's that I already have and somewhere around 750/250 for springs. Any thoughts? Do you know of anyone with a set of coilovers for sale that fit Koni's? I haven't seen any on the different sites.
Nope. It's a special award you don't want to get! ;)Quote:
