Absolutely badass! I love the whole setup, clean 3rd gen making over 3 times the power of the old L98 TPI it most likely came with. Alvin, how much clearance is under the hood with the blower? Would the stock 3rd gen Firebird hood clear or is more room needed?

I have to say I'm super happy with the work the crew at PCM of NC did with my car! There are no driveability issues that I can see...the car just drives great! Driving it now makes me remember driving it with the original engine and I wonder how I ever dealt with it! Our weather has been hit or miss, but I drove it last weekend and gave it some hell. Here is a video. 4th gear pull from 55-110ish. I wasn't full throttle... the car wanted to skate around a little. Desperately need new tires.




Aside from GM high tech, if anyone here is a member of POCI (pontiac-oakland club) I am in talks with the editor...he wants to do a full feature of my car and put it on the cover of their magazine

That'd be a better question for the owner (Racer001). I'm honestly not sure what the clearance would look like with the stock hood, and the car has since gone home so I can't recall off hand how much room was there.

My hood has a 2.25" cowl and there is about 1.75" left I'm estimating. No way would a stock hood work though.

I was crossing my fingers that my fiberglass hood would work. I couldn't find anyone else that had done what I did, to verify if it would fit or not.

Drool worthy car IMO. The element of surprise must be awesome! I would soooo mess with that thing at a stop light thinking it was an L98 with a small Novi.
