Default Black Turbo 4th Gen Trans Am at Power Tour--Looking for Specs...

I saw this car at the Bowling Green stop on the Hot Rod Power Tour this past summer. It's an awesome sleeper with its stock wheels and tires. LS-based engine with a rather large turbo, and I also spotted a nitrous bottle in the back. Any info on this car? I'd like to get in touch with the owner, and figured he might be on here. Thanks...here are the pictures.

I think I remember that car, Futral built it about 4 years ago I think. It was a 346 with a 88 and a 6 speed tranny.

Funny that you found this thread. I just sent you a PM yesterday. On a whim, I contacted Josh at Kentucky Turbo and he knew all about your car. It's an awesome car and a great sleeper!

Futral had nothing to do with this car.
