I thought the tranny was slipping on the dyno when we were tuning it.No big deal,Brent and myself knew it wouldn't last long and he already planned a rebuild coming up soon.The car still drives normal on the street and will probly have a new tranny in it soon.Also a new converter will be put in to hold the power

i didnt know he made almost 500. i for some reason thought he made like 420 or somthing, that must have been a different sts gto, there is a few i have seen.
490 stock tranny/vert, i can see that. heat kills them big time, power/tq is a lot to do with the heat and stress.
490@ 4000 pounds!!! Can we say fat car???lol i thought mine was a pig at 3800 when i was turbo! hehe
