I had a hot cam in my old 93 T/A and loved it. I bought it used with a set of ported stock heads.....My car made almost 380 RWHP, the car was a lot of fun to drive. I would buy the cam if you are getting a good price on it.

I have a hot cam kit on my TA and I have been very happy with it. I'll be honest and say that I have not driven any other cammed LT1's to compare it with, but it is a night and day different from stock. The seat of the pants feel of it is great.

It wasn't the same car it was my old '95 Formula that I sold a year and a half ago to get my WS6. The black was definetly sweet but I like the red better, I was actually looking for a red car just for something different since I was used to black for so long.

haha yea i know what you mean actually but those california dusters work well with that after you wash and wax. my buddies cobalt SS is black and it shines and i am soo jealous until the sun comes out and his car is like 150 degree's inside in the summer.

Yea you never really see them at all. They made the LT1 Formula WS6's in '96 and '97 and only 524 were built in '96 and 473 in '97. Mine was the first I ever saw in real life and my best friend has a black '97 Formula WS6 as well that I found and tracked down for him but other than those I've never seen any in real life.

Since you like black here's what pictures I have of it:





Bone stock w/ 59,000 miles and babied like no other except for those few times I've taken it for a spin
