Talking New guy....

Ok, not really a new guy..Ive been lurking around for the last few months now. Thought it be appropriate to give an intro. The name is Zach, and im currently overseas in Iraq with the U.S. Army. I just bought my 2000 Trans Am WS6 M6 on my mid-tour leave while I was back in the states this last April. Other than a few miles, its almost mint and I got an EXCELLENT deal on her from my best friend back home. Right now an H/C swap is in the mix along with FULL exhaust . Cant wait till this Nov to take her out for a spin...This site has helped me out alot to pass the time away while over here and there is ENDLESS amounts of knowledge to be learned, so thanks and everybody take care.

-Zach

Sounds like you have a good bead on what your set up is will be curious to see what you dyno
Great looking ride!
The toyota in the background looks good but I'm biased, my dd is a 02' silver Tacoma.
