2000 Trans Am. Pewter, 6 speed, WS6 clone, 70k miles.
My car was built as the ultimate no-compromises daily driver. No compromises with power, durability, drivability, or fuel economy. This car has been a rolling test bed and has been chronicled in its many forms on LS1 Tech over the past 4 years: Stealth, torque, all-out hp and most recently, max power on 87 octane.


I have planned on going forced induction for quite some time. I recently sold my 508 rwhp engine and built an even more expensive motor with the plans to add an APS twin turbo setup. The forged 347 was built to handle over 1000 rwhp. In N/A form, the new engine makes 440 rwhp/405 rwtq on 87 octane. 9.2: 1 static compression ratio. 26 mpg on highway, 16 mpg in city. Superb handling as a result of the full Sam Strano spring, bar, shock package.

I have over $22,000 in mods (plus the cost of the car itself). I will sell the car for $19,500 including the Fikse wheels and Mamo-ported FAST 90 with NW TB. I will sell the car for $16,700 with stock WS6 wheels, LS6 intake and stock TB. In that form, the car makes 415 rwhp/395 rwtq. Here are all the upgrades and their new cost:

I will sell the car as it stands for $19,500 including the Fikse wheels and Mamo-ported FAST 90 with NW TB. I will sell the car for $16,700 with stock WS6 wheels, LS6 intake and stock TB. The car can be driven cross-country and will run as fast as most *****-out heads/cam cars, but only on 87 octane. I also have a new APS twin turbo kit that is still in the box, unopened as it came from APS that I will have for sale. I also have a brand new (still in the box) BMR k-member that I can sell separately. These were to go on my car, but I have run out of time/interest to complete the project. I would like to sell the car complete as it stands, but if the right buyer does not come around, I will part out the car and return it to stock. Any questions, please ask.

Noooooo, you can't sell it, at least not until you do 200+mph at the texas mile.

bump for a beautiful car with some really nice parts.

The plan all along was to exceed 200 mph in the Texas Mile. Guess we'll have to do it in your Camaro. I'd like to see how stable your 700 hp AC Cobra is above 150mph.

Very nice...

Keep me in mind if someone takes it for the latter.. ($16.7).. I am in need of a nicely ported FAST/TB combo...

The FIKSE's would be nice as well..

Good luck! Beautiful car, tastefully done!

Thanks. I've had more interest in the car with the LS6 intake so the ported FAST may go up for sale. I'll keep you posted.

Nice car Pat! Why did you decide to sell it all of a sudden? You were on a roll with that 508rwhp N/A motor along with the 87 octane motor. Did you suddenly taken an interest in Chrysler's Hemi motors or are you just needing another SUV in the family?
