A new joint from Lashway Motorsports - "Tyrant 427" Just wanted to share a build we have going on right now. Very nice example of a vehicle that not only will perform well, but looks killer as well!
The owner is a past customer of ours who owns some very nice cars that we have the privilege of tuning and modifying. When he approached us with this project, he wanted to pull out all the stops. He contributed many ideas which we applied to the overall concept of this car.
Our favorite aspect of this build is the quality of everything, and while it looks more or less factory on the outside - nothing is stock about the parts we are adding. This vehicle is going to be a VERY fast car.
Vehicle: 1998 Trans Am, M6, Convertible
Paint: Custom PPG Lamborghini Black - by Superior Automotive Design
Suspension: BMR 1" drop springs, Bilstein shocks, UMI Adj Tunnel Mounted T/A, On car Adj Lower control arms, 3-pt SFCs, all poly bushings. We set this car up for more road driving than anything. Certainly not a drag only set up, but I think we can cut a decent '60 anyhow.
Engine: TEC built 427 LS7, forged bottom end, ported LS7 heads, aftermarket cam, electric water pump, ARP fasteners - engine made 618 on the engine dyno without optimal timing. We expect to make about 650 fwhp after tuning.
Trans: Stock T56 which has been rebuilt by Promotion Performance to handle 800 ft lbs of torque, Viper output shaft
Driveshaft: PST 3" Steel
Clutch: Monster Level 3 Premium, 28 lb flywheel, stock hydraulics
Rear end: Moser 9", 33 spline, Moser Locker, custom black Powdercoat by Superior Automotive Design
Wheels/Tires: TBD, but leaning towards polished Weld RTS drag wheels. 17" in front, 15" in rear wrapped in some M&H Racemasters.
Nitrous: Nitrous Express Wet Plate system, 150 HP jetting, 10 lb bottle, custom lines, larger noids.
Brakes: Painted stock calipers, aftermarket rotors and stainless lines
Exhaust: TBD - we're going to think about what he wants as we get closer to turning this thing over.
Fueling: Stock rails, LS7 Injectors, Racetronix Walbro Intank, Kenne Bell BAP for the juice
Tuning: Stock PCM and harness from 2002 Fbody, repinned of course. Lashway tune by Josh Isaacs

Thread in need of update huh?
LS7 fired up a few weeks ago. Prior to engine swap, vehicle went to paint for custom paint job. In the process, a lot of factory ground locations, and wiring were removed and not put back (no ones fault). Once we got the car running, we found that a few grounds were missed. We had to go back through and find them all and sort through that mess.
Anyway, all problems sorted out. We also decided to add a nitrous kit from Nitrous Express - really nice plate system with some custom lines we bent...looks killer.
Anyway, I will add pics and stuff as we go.
We're absolutely slammed at the shop - a great problem to have!

She's ready for some street driving!
Sorry about the video quality - we're still perfecting that side of the business haha.
Video: 2500-7000 RPM
After some street break in, we'll come back and test out the custom Nitrous Express kit we installed! Stay tuned.
