I did all the work myself, in my garage, and on a decent budget.

I'm currently parting it out, and just picked up a 99 Trans Am. That will be my new project for this winter. I can't wait!

I bet your gonna love the car just that much more, *with a more aggressive cam in there.
I'll be checking back to see the results.

Parting it out!?!? Man, you will regret that. Sounds like you built a killer NA setup. Mine is also built on a budget (see GM heads and intake) - no special tricks here. Good luck with the new project!

Yeah, I have considered keeping it many times lately. But I just bought the Trans Am. I have wanted 1 for so long and I just couldn't pass up on this great deal! I got it for way less than I expected to buy 1 for, Honestly!

I might regret it for a little while, But in the end I will be glad I did...

I'll shoot you a PM with my new build for my Trans Am.
I have a few lurkers on here who watch what I do. lol
So I have told people that I'm doing about 30 different setups, and now nobody knows what I'm doing. lol

Gotta love being sneaky! lol

PM coming your way!

James
