Green Dragon Burnin Rubber
So after 12ish years, my 1995 Pontiac Trans Am is on the road and almost fully functional. I still have some tuning to do, but it is running pretty good. I have only seen 3-4 psi but that was only at 3,800 rpm. I haven't found a road or track very close to me to really open it up (6300 rpm redline) to finish the tuning and see if I hit 12-14 psi. I think I may need a smaller SC pulley (it currently has a 4.5" and I may go to a 4.25").
For those that are not familiar with the car...
-385 ci LT4 10.5to1 with Lingenfelter ported heads and intake
-24x conversion
-Custom 12 rib Procharger F1A
-Custom dual 3" to single 4" back to dual 3" ss exhaust system with Magnaflow mufflers
-255 in tank, Kenne Bell BAP, 60 lb injectors
-Custom Air intake
-Full AFCO coilover kits
-Moser 9"
-19x9 and 20x12 Forgestar CF10s with Pirelli tires
-Wilwood 14" brakes front and rear
-lots of other stuff....
Sorry for the short videos, but not much pavement to play with. It's crazy haw loud this car is! It sounds like there is a microphone recording from the car, yet the audio you hear is from the camera.

Thanks guys, it is starting to feel good. There have been sooooo many little issues that pop up at the very end that it almost takes all the wind out of my sails. I can kind of see the light at the end of the tunnel.

good gosh, 12 rib setup, worried about slip? haha.
It has been a long time coming for sure with that car. Sounds great. What are you expectations with the car? I'd assume well into the 7xx's? I just got done with a stock short block but H/C/24x LT1 with a D1 and it made ~640whp. Obviously you've got more cubes so I assume high rolling for sure. I'm curious as well, why the 6300 rpm redline? We spun ours to 6800+ if I remember correctly.

It was all done on a 9k mile 97 SS, needless to say he doesn't drive it much. However a short-block is in the plans for sure.
I just did a kit on an LT and I guess after the belt got to be an inch thick I just stopped counting. haha.
That is just wicked! Love the strut tower bar and the charger up top like that. You should look into a new shroud. We did one and I had it coated (the car was black so we went with black) really played out nicely. Obviously you're no stranger to clean lines.

How much HP is everyone thinking I'm going to make? All of the research and calculations I did says that the racetronix 255 with the Kenne Bell BAP and 60 lb injectors will support 700ish RWHP. That is the max amount of HP I expect/plan to make, that is the limit of the fuel system/lines and transmission. I cannot even hold the throttle much past 3/4 for any amount of time since the car just rips up the tires, I will struggle to ever reach the max hp level.
