Default Trans Am getting some love!

I bought my Trans Am 4 months ago completely stock and quickly ordered Stainless Steel Long tubes, y-pipe, SLP lid, SLP smooth bellow, filter, Flowmaster cat-back, Pro 5.0, WS6 Store short stick, Trans Am shift ****, Eibach Pro-kit springs....

Shortly after that I screwed the transmission, so I dropped it off at RPM Transmissions and got the Level IV transmissions and LS6 clutch.

Parts Ordered already or shown up:
-Hooker catback
-Raptor shiftlight
-LM Motorsports G5X3 cam
-Comp Cams pushrods
-LS6 oil pump
-Comp Cams 921 Spring kit
-KYB shocks

Parts left to Order:
-SLP Underdrive Pulley and bolt (will be ordered tomorrow)

Sounds like you are really throwing some good mods at it. I bet you can't wait to get them all installed and take the car out for a spin.

Yea, I don't go to college anymore for right now. I have a job that I love and pays pretty well with TONS of room for raises and promotions. I will probably do the online classes starting in the fall semester though.

If I had buddies to help me install internals I would have had cam in my car this winter. If any of those mods need baby sat I can do it, LOL. I also was looking at the ms3 and 233/239, and thinking 233/239 is the one for me
