Took my trans am to the track for the first time!
Bought this car as an "unfinished project" from an auction March of 2013. Put a fuel pump in it, bunch of sensors, wiring harness, studs, and all kinds of other **** to get it running and driveable. Mods are a lq4 with BBK longtube headers/off road y pipe, hurst shifter and a tune. First run ever in it was a 12.9 with a 2.1 60'. best run of the day was a 12.77 @109 and a 1.9 60' on bald street tires, that's launching at 2600, power shifting at 6600 and ending at the end of third. Beat 2 5.0's at the track, and beat a trans am with a 226 custom grind cam and a 4000 stall with 3.73 gears. So yeah, the car is hauling ***! Car weighed in at 2750 with me in it. It was a hell of a day! Waiting for my buddy to send me the video's, i'll post the time slips in a second. 4.10's and drag radials coming real soon! Aiming for low 12's, then a 150 shot!

The red 5.0 is the one I had three really good runs with. He barely beat me once and I yanked him out of the hole the other two. It ran mid to high 12's all day long, best run was 12.62 @ 112. The silver trans am is the one with a custom grind cam and a 4k stall. It was his first run ever on the 4k stall yet he managed to make 12.5 @ 109
The slip on the left is when I beat him, but I think there was a technical issue. I beat him for sure yet he still managed to get .2 seconds less than me.
First run of the day
Best run of the day. With some descent street tires I believe I can break the 12.5 mark.
The two 5.0's I beat line 'em up. Blue 5.0 wheel hopped like a b*tch
One of my runs. I ran a 12.9 this run, power shifting in this one too
Spun really bad off the line on this one, had to let off
