Default Hello from Syracuse NY

Newbie here. After a 8 years of not having a Trans Am, I finally bought another one (my 5th Trans Am). A 97 TA, black. I am trying to keep (revert) it bone stock.

I've learned alot on this forum. The audio section is great!

Just thought I'd say hi.

Thanks for the warm welcomes!

That Vega looks very cool! I used to have a 75 Monza that I put a small block 400 in. Fun cars!

As for keeping my car stock, that's the plan right now, we'll see. As an official 'old fart' I am pretty happy with the power the thing has now.....even with 160,000 miles on the clock.

LOL, it's been a long time since I was at Esta. Last time I was there, I ran my 20th Anniversary TA there, 13.8 @105 mph 1/4 mile. I was more than happy with that.

I'd love to go back sometime and see what the 97 will do.

Welcome. I'm closer to Albany. Trying to get one of my 383's to go Turbo right now. Need to find someone that converts SBC heads to LT1 rev cool so I can go to a big combustion chamber (74 - 76cc) and drop my compression a good bit. It's beautiful up here, no? I moved here from Houston, TX in 2004.

In Albany, eh? Cool! I've been to the chassi dyno at MTI in Houston a LOT of times. How much do you charge for a couple of pulls on the dyno?
