Thumbs up Took the plunge

While I'm sitting in Qatar, my wife went to MTI yesterday and put a downpayment on Heads, cam and a yank Converter. It's great when the wife is into modding. Anyway, I have an appointment on 24 Jan to have it all installed. I get home on the 22nd. I ordered thier Stage IIe LS6 heads, Stealth II cam, Yank SS 3200, and yella terra roller rockers. My goal was around 400 RWHP. I don't think I should have any problems reaching it.

These last few days here are really dragging on....

Merry Christmas all..........

You will love the combo. But, I'm sure a stock Trans Am would probably feel like a rocket to you right now. Get back home safely!
