I've lurked around on these forums for a while, but decided to finally register. Anyways, here is my car: It's an 88 Pontiac GTA, one of 809 factory 5.0/5-speed cars built for 1988. It's got the digital dash, 9-bolt disc rear, and tan leather interior. It's a rolling project at the moment, I'm still slowly restoring the interior. I bought it last february and spent the first couple months getting it running well. I plan to start on suspension soon, doing spohn coilvers and LS1 brakes. It needs a little bodywork too, mostly on the driver side front. Still, for a 20 year old car with 175k miles, it's in great overall shape.

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm not sure what I want to do with the motor yet. It runs great, so at least for the time being, I plan to leave it mostly stock. I do want to do a T56 swap though. I will probably stay with a Gen I motor, unless I come across a good deal on an LT1 or LS1. I don't know much about the LSX engines, so putting one in would be a learning experience for me. I do plan to keep the car stock appearing, and would like to retain A/C. I'm soon buying an Ostrich PROM emulator, so I can adjust the tune. Just out of curiosity, how hard is it to tune an LSX engine yourself? Is there software available like there is for the TPI?
