How's it going? New guy with a couple of Pontiacs. Hi everyone,
I'm Greg and I just joined to learn about an LSx swap. I'm thinking about putting one in my 1991 Trans Am. I've owned the car for almost 9 years and right now it has around 108k. It's black on tan with t-tops, a lower mileage 305 tpi and 700r4, 2.73, and headers.
I also have a 2001 GTP turbo which I now drive everyday. It has a 2005 longblock, built transmission, 3000 stall, rockers, and minor exhaust work. I'll try and get some pictures up of both cars.
I've done quite a bit of reading here and so far I have found a lot of great info.

I've never taken it to the track or the dyno. Cars with the same setup are about 300whp. I'm running 9 psi right now and don't plan on going more than 14 psi once I install my intercooler. Here is an older picture of the setup.
For the Trans Am, I was thinking of sticking with a stock LS1 to begin with. I would probably put in a fresh transmission at the time, and probably a rear end? The most important thing to me is that it can remain a daily driver. Here is a pic of the TA.
