Ok took it for a test drive today. Haven't tuned it yet but it's awesome! A couple of small issues I need to address but nothing major. I got a few thumbs up wich is always cool esp. when the car is dirty as hell. But I'll take em. I went to pick up the kid from Basketball practice with it as a suprise. And he comes over and says you brought the Trans Am didn't you? I was like yeah how did you know becuase I never passed the windows and he says well you have the only car that can vibrate the glass like that.

Omg I'm soo tired of the issues lol. So I get the car on a mustang dyno and we spend alot of time tuning the thing getting it close enough to make a pull. And it's running out of fuel above 4000 rpms. I put a new pump on it a year maybe 2 ago. So we hooked up a gauge and sure enough it just fades away above that leaving me with 404rwhp soo far. So now I need to get that fixed before I can finish it.

Any updates on this car? Saw it at the TA Nats this year and never got a chance to see you in person just driving in and out from a distance. Car sounds mean as hell and LOUD!

Wow thanks. When I first parked it on Friday I think about 5 guys stopped me on the way to Check in. It was a good feeling. I finally tuned it after the TA Nats. Yes I drive it there from Cleveland partially tuned. On a mustang dyno in 90 degree 90% humidity I made 425 rwhp. Did you see when the dj stopped me and put his microphone to my tail pipes lol.
