I bought the Trans Am over a C5 Z06 because it has a backseat so my kids could right the thunder.

I like that, "ride the thunder" yes, I see that down side today, no backseat isn't kid friendly! My son loves the car, but can't ride in it much.

If I were a single man, I'd have twin turbos on a Z06 pushing 1500rwhp... (yes, the 346 is still in the mix because I am not a single man - well I might be when this is all said and done...)

Cam is not here yet.

Good news is the PCM made it to Geoff. I emailed him the FIC tuning file for the injectors today and passed on Chuck's recommendations for the trans.

Yeah, trying to plan the latest fun.

The 370 is on hold as my wife found out about the FLT Level 6 and was super pissed. But I'm still going to try to get that next week and get the car together. LOL

Next round of fun is the S60. Narrowed 2.5" with 4.10 gears. Then I'll throw some Viking Coilovers on there and a set of Weld RT-S 17x7 4.8" BS fronts and 15x10 5.5" BS rears. Looks like I'll try for the MT Street Comps 235/55-17s and ET Streets 325/50-15s (or the 295/55s if the 325s aren't going to fit).

This would be my street setup.

From my experience of both being married, and having a dedicated class specific race car, marriage and kids are actually cheaper than the race car. They are also more fun than the race car.

My marriage doesn't suck any money. That's why my wife gets pissy. She hates to spend money on anything.

Yes, I understand "because Racecar" can be way more expensive than the wife and kids. In my case, I'm not building anything more than a tool around street car that will visit the strip and/or road course.

Jake,

Where do you think you will end up regarding the Hp and TQ? I am simply curious as I am beginning on my build also.

Cheers!

No, but previously I was told it was 83g for the intake. 2.04"

HP/torque.

If a 6-speed I'd say 490/440 and maybe 500/450.

With the A4... well who knows lol.

FLT Level 6 here.

Jake, screw the MT 3754's and go straight for the MT3754X.

There is no substitute.

Period.

They are DOT legal Foo!

Hell, they last about 30 more passes than the old 275/60 Hoosiers did too. I think you would be extremely surprised how long they will last. Even with street driving. Hell I got almost 3000 miles out of my 275/60 hoosiers and I probably made 75-100 drag strip passes on them. Granted I was doing weak *** baby burn outs back then instead of the John Force burnouts you see in my avatar now lol.
