Dropped the car off last night to get the downpipes made and a few odds and ends welded. I should have it back in two weeks to wire the gauges and the BS3. Hoping to have it ready for the dyno in Feb. sometime. I'm really anxious to hear this thing run, considering it took me a year to get this thing to this point.

Here is the breakdown for those that don't know-
-2000 Trans Am ws6, mini tubbed, 10 point cage
-Ls2 402 with 8.7:1 compression
-twin turbonetics tc-76's
-air to air intercooler (temporary until I can afford air to water)
-th400 with all the best internals, py3400 stall
-midwest 9" backbraced,shortened 3" per side. 3.25 gear with a 35 spline spool.

Hoping to run deep in the 9's without working it too hard and maybe some high 8's. Plans in the future are to send the motor to Va. speed and have them build it to handle alot of boost. Then add the air to water setup.

Thanks to everyone on here that has helped so far! Looking forward to seeing everyone at Cecil this year!

 

what tires r u going to run?

 

Forgot to post that, 325/50/15 mickey thompson et street radials

 

your actully getting this running????

when ya goin to bring her out to Sonic?

 

I know it took awhile ,but I wanted to do as much on my own as possible. '09 was the worst year I ever went through emotionally. I watched 12 years of marriage go down the toilet. Between that and having 50% custody of my daughter it didn't leave a ton of time to work on it....Besides there is way too much time and money invested in this to let it sit!!!!!

Which sonic does everyone meet at? I'll be sure to make an appearance!

 

sounds like an amazing ride. whynot run a 275 radial and run the outlaw radial class?

 

The cars in that class are a bit out of my league....but now you have me thinking!

 

Brownstown Sonic up 222.

I thought you were a different forum member actully, a buddy has a black T/A and was building a forged motor & stuff for his. Congrats on finishing, I know how frustrating it can be to undertake a project like this.

 

It came a long way, believe me!

 

damn man congrats. Looks and sounds like a sweet ride. Can't wait to see it at the track and sonic.

 

yea im sure u could maybe hang with a high 8 sec ride.

 

Thank you! It's been a long time comin!

 

I can't wait to see you in a diaper for your first track pass. Should be cute. LOL

 

You won't think it's cute when you are the one who has to change it!!!! I'll make sure I eat sauerkraut the night before!!

 

Maybe you should make a few passes in the Saturn to get used to the track.

 

I was thinking something a little slower than that even.....maybe I'll pull plug wires off my car and run 3 cylinders..

 

In a couple weeks if anyone is looking for something to do. You could stop by and help do some wiring.

 

I might be interested for something to do.

 

I would appreciate it for sure!!!!

 

I know it's not a 1k horsepower Hemi but Chad could use some help.

I'm just messing with you Ken. Stop by and play with a cool car.
