This car has been on a journey since december, had a guy build me a motor and it didnt turn out the way i wanted, just didnt run right or anything, so i parked the car in the garage and said, im going to fix the car myself, being a senior in high school i didnt have much time to work on it, so one weekend i tore the car down, and called Texas-Speed, they set me up with the PRC stg 2.5 5.3L heads and the 233/239 cam, and found a good deal on a FAST 92/92 setup, got the car finished tuesday night and im very happy with the results, took it down to Dyno & Performance Thursday were John made me a X-pipe with Borla XR-1's dumped, the car sounds amazing, here are some pics i took through the process, ENJOY

i envy your a senior and own a trans am + cobra, but doing that type of work yourself is impressive, to me at least. nice ride.

Dumps on a Trans-Am?? Ehhh looks good on a Camaro but I never really liked it on a T/A since it has the openings for the exhuast.

Sick set-up though, must be nice...
