Currently I have the Stainless Works kit on the car. Before the motor problems, I was driving the car an average of 20-30 miles per day. After the motor is fixed, I am switching to the OFI kit and the car will go back to daily driver status.

In the summer im averaging about 100-150 miles a week, now it just sits in storage. Probably drive it 3-4 days a week, although the fact that I now live a block off of woodward will probably mean ill be driving 7 days a week come summer. Its a 94 Trans Am, 6 speed with a Vortech T-trimmed 355. Car is mainly set up for street/highway runs with some on street drag racing, dont get it to the track very often. I put on approx 4k miles last year and will prob put on the same this year as well. I "get on it" about every couple miles hahahaha and it should currently be putting out around 600 rwhp im guessing due to the new increase in boost but hopefully more
well, before the latest list of mods... not including the 6 months of dealing with bad ferrea springs...
i usually drove my car everyday, averaging about 400-500 honest miles a week. I do alot of driving her in miami and it adds up easily. after the 408ci, it went down to about 350-400 a week... had some times where it sat cause of busted springs..
now, the car has been down since may of last year... had a lot of crazy ideas floating around and finally the plan is almost done... im looking at driving anywhere from 200-300 a week on pump, moderate boost levels.
