Default Hello from Ca.

Im new to the site and i just recently picked up a 98 Trans Am. It was my best friends car that i did 100% of the work on for him. Tried for years to get him to sell it to me and finally he gave in. Enjoy the pics.







Only mods it has at the moment is a P1SC Procharger, full SLP exhaust and some wore out Nitto drag radials.

Pedro.

Im from bakersfield. Im wicked excited i finally got it and thank you. I already have a few parts im going to throw at it. When i installed the procharger, they sent us the wrong pulley and the car only makes 2 1/2lbs on stock injectors and pump it made 402hp on a dynojet. I ordered the 6lb pulley and throwing in some 42lb injectors and a 255lph fuel pump. I cant wait.

402whp on 2 1/2 lbs is still pretty good.

Post up what it makes on the 6lb pulley.
