Sweet Trans Am you got there Mr Abrams. I really like your car and set up, meaning to send you a PM and ask you a few question about it, but haven't felt like it Kinda wanted to know what it weighed in at, as well as the stall and gear size, want to do some thing similar in my 93.

Yeah they blew it calling it a Trans Am...Oh well...When I made that run I was 3575 with driver...4.10 gears and a Vig 3600...Now after the roll bar and a few tweaks Im 3625 with driver and added a Spohn Pro series rear sway bar, and the Vig is now a 4000...Hoping for a 10.9999 run if I can get a 60' anywhere in the high 1.4s...I was 1.52 on that run...

Grats!

Your car has always been one of my favorites, and I hope my baby cammed stroker runs as good as yours when I finish my rebuild!

Nice!! Mine is on a dozen different web sites because of the aftermarket SS hood I put on. The quality of the hood is kinda garbage. I tried telling some of the different companies they were a awful fit "it hits the alternator" and there are bigger gaps on the sides then I really care for...they didn't listen and continue to sell them.

Thanks again everybody! I cant believe I've been beating on it for 13 years and have taken it from a crazy spinning 13.0 to 11.20s...I did pull the heads in 2005 and had Eric Bradby do some hand porting and replaced the standard LPE 211/219 cam with a custom Joe Overton 226/234 cam...It does still run the kick *** double valve springs/titanium retainers that they installed in 1995! I'll get a 10 second run out of this thing yet!!
