Default New F-Body owner (UPDATED W/PICS)

ive been on the site for a while now but just recently bought an FBODY

Just added an 2002 Pontiac Trans Am WS6 to the garage last night. She needs a little TLC when it come to the body but other then that she is marvalous. From what I can tell she has a Cam, Centerforce clutch, SLP lid (not sure if the TB has been ported), longtube headers, Hurst shifter, drop springs, Cat delete into a Y-pipe to a bullit and then out the back of the car. She has 77k miles but the motor runs strong and pulls hard. The clutch bites hard too.

Here is a list of performance mods i will be doing to her off the top of my head: (in no particular order)

Kooks Headers
Magnaflow mufflers w/3" tubing mand. bent true duals all the way out the back of the car (goes to Jason @ APE on Tuesday)
Nitrous (not sure what brand yet)
JAAM Ram air kit
TT2's 17x9.5/17x11 polished
DR's (not sure what brand yet)
Larger Throttle Body
Fab 9"
Subframe connectors (probably UMI)
Programer

Cosmetic and audio:
Porshe Metallic Black Paint
blacked out tails
HID's
blacked out side markers
some interior work (headliner, doors, ect.)
new carpet (probably black)
new component speaker system (not sure what brand yet)
Sub
7" headunit

well that is all i can think of off the top of my head. Zak may have noticed a few other things it had done to it. he was gracious enough to go down there with me. i am forever in his debt. Thanks Zak!

i will have pics up asap! (thoughts and suggestions welcome)

haven't had time to clean her up yet... took her to the dyno last night... here are the numbers

371 RWHP SAE
358 FT# SAE

i will clean her up this weekend and get some pics... the new headers go on monday night and the new exhaust tuesday... i will give her another run in a few weeks just to see what changed... not expecting much of a gain really.

As for the tips, I LOVED my corsa clones
