Pontiac Firebird 1967-2002 - Big oppurtunity

Ok, I have the oppurtunity to pay $10,000 and get a car to around 1000hp. Its a 94 trans am with a 454 and some EXTREME mods. Should I do it? Need everybody's thought on this one. $10,000 Price is including car and ALLL the mods.:punch::punch::punch::punch::punch::punch::ey es::eyes::eyes::devil::devil::devil::devil::nod::n od::chug::chug:

What are the mods? What transmission? What rear?
================================
....enough with overdoing the smilies!

10000 dollars for a car making 1000whp ?

sounds like a bargain to me if it has been built properly

And you just got a Firehawk too, where's your money tree at!!!!
I dunno know, got any pics and list of mods? Thats some serious power, hope the tranny and rear can back it up.

I will get $15,000 In 3 or 4 months. Thats how much i need to get it up and running and 1000hp I will be stripping the whole car. Gona primer the whole body, paint the cab, trunk, under the hood, and under the car flat black, The exterior will be Yellow ( Z06 yellow ). American racing wheels black, 5% tint everywhere. Going to lower it, and build the motor and lower the car on the motor. There is also a torque converter, just can't find one right now. I will be switching the interior to black. Seats will be changed to racing seats, Steering column will be changed, Willl be deleteing the rear seats for less weight, everything under the hood will be replaced to racing type. Will be getting msd ignition, Speedometer will be changed, and ima build A custom one. Will be puting the speedo, gas indicator, battery, oil, and water will be in metal in the place of the speedometer itself, the rpm gage will be put on the dash. Here are the pics of the mods, I am sure all of you all know each one of them is. If you don't ask me.

Why so cheap? You could be getting yourself into someone else's really big headaches on this one.

What do you mean. This is my idea lol. Noone knows or ever heard about someone do something this big. A blower Sticking out of the hood of a Freakin 94 Trans am. Did you ever hear that. You barley see blowers sticking out, Only in old cars like 60's or 70's camaro and challengers. And this is not the first time we build a stroker. We built a million but this is the only one that is possibly gona get up to 1000hp

Come on ls1 family, Help me out, I am waiting to see, Car is probably going to be bought for sure, but I need to know about the mods is it a good idea, Car is going to be drag raced and sometimes street driven.

I will get $15,000 In 3 or 4 months. Thats how much i need to get it up and running and 1000hp I will be stripping the whole car (including body of off frame). Gona primer the whole body, paint the cab, trunk, under the hood, and under the car flat black, The exterior will be Yellow ( Z06 yellow ). American racing wheels black, 5% tint everywhere. The frame is going to be stripped and painted gloss black. Going to lower it, and build the motor onto the frame and drop the body on the frame. There is also a torque converter, just can't find one right now. I will be switching the interior to black. Seats will be changed to racing seats, Steering column will be changed, Willl be deleteing the rear seats for less weight, everything under the hood will be replaced to racing type. Will be getting msd ignition, Speedometer will be changed, and ima build A custom one. Will be puting the speedo, gas indicator, battery, oil, and water will be in metal in the place of the speedometer itself, the rpm gage will be put on the dash.

FRAME??? :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

FRAME??? :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

It is from up north. They spray salt on the road so it's Gona kinda be rusty

god damn Now I can't wait to do this build

My point is that it doesnt have a FRAME....

FRAME??? :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

lol yeah i saw that too and was like "body off frame? ummm not on an fbody, lol"

Your gonna sometimes drive a 1000hp race car on the street?


...your my hero...

And i guess this being a good decision or not would depend on if you can legitly use that money for other things first....(kids, wife, house? don't know if you have any of those or not.) If I had all my shiznit together I'd put 1000 horses into my TA.

Lol. I forgot about that,I got a little to excited I didn't know what I was saying.

you need to fill us in on more details. a bunch of low resolution pictures and vague descriptions don't really provide much footing to judge whether it's worth $10k.

sooo you said this is your idea, and you're doing it all yourself, correct? does the car come with everything and you're putting it together? or are you buying the car and then all the parts separate?

not really seeing how this thing is going to stay together. even if you're getting whatever unknown motor, blower, ignition, etc. you've posted pictures of, what kind of trans is going in it? that's $3k right there. what kind of rear? that's another $3k. right there you're halfway to your budget and you still just have pictures of maybe 1/4 of the rest of the parts you'll need.

so far your plan sounds like your description "everything under the hood will be racing type" and that's as far as it's gotten. what kind of fuel system? trans? rear? who's tuning it? suspension (other than "lower it")?

10000 dollars for a car making 1000whp ?

sounds like a bargain to me if it has been built properly

Yea thats some amazing bang for your buck right there. If its true, which from reading in so far im not too sure of.

above before I put the pics I said i needed 15k. I am buying the car, and buying the parts seperatly, and there is a friend thats been building strokers for 20 years, So he is gona help out. Yes the trans, rearend, is 3k each. The motor is a 454 with 455hp for 3500. Weiland supercharger for 3000 brand new. So I already know Ima have more than 12k in the car. It is going to be dyno tuned at Dynospeed racing. I am not sure about that much because I don't know if i should do it or not....... I might lower the car and keep the stock springs for the track. This car might or might not be a daily driver. Motor only will be about 800hp. But with a 100 shot of nitrous will be more than 1100hp. and yes it will be driven on the street. ;)

engine: $3500
trans: $3000
rear: $3000
fuel system: $2000
converter/cooler: $1000
cage: $1000
solid motor mounts/torque arm/sfc's/lca's/brackets: $1000
tune: $500
ignition: $xxx
wheels/tires: $xxx

those are just the extreme basics and still you're already at the budget. that's the minimum suspension required to make any use of the power, and you still don't have track wheels/tires, not to mention the countless little parts that will spring up.

also what compression is the 454? what kind of cam specs? is it a boost friendly motor? nitrous friendly?

Not sure about compression
Cam is BIG 550 + Hydraulic Dual Patterned High performance
Nitrous Friendly

I don't think I will be building this anymore cause now I wanna put money In the hawk. But this car is still available for 700 bucks so go and try to get it.

ah depends if u want to buy an already fast car or get that pride feeling after every small mod you do...

10k could get you a texas speed build longblock 408 and a moser 9"....enuff said...lol

The only reason why I don't wanna do it anymore is my Friend got a 06 Mustang gt vert bone stock, He challenged me and said when we are both done Throwing mods on our cars, we have to race. Not turbo supercharger or nos, Bolt ons only. O and I am talkin bout my hawk
