Default 1995 Trans Am Overhaul

Hello all!

I have been a member of these forums for quite awhile. Started here a good 13/14 years ago with a 99 Trans Am. This month I purchased a 1995 M6 Trans Am locally I couldn't pass up. Exterior wise was a 10/10. Car was completely stock aside from the C6 wheels and a Corsa Catback. I'll list all of my plans for it below. This is not going to be a high hp drag racing build rather than just some tasteful upgrades here and there.
  • Complete gasket replacements
  • Lloyd Elliot LE2 Heads / Ported Intake / 230/238 .584/.584 110 LSA camshaft
  • LT / ORY / Corsa Catback
  • Midwest Chassis K-member, Lower control arms and viking coilovers
  • Bigger Fuel pump, 60lb injectors
  • Deleting all egr
  • AC Delete
  • Wheels and tires
As you can see this will be nothing over the top but should make a fund cruiser. Looking forward to seeing all the parts arrive.

Car is now in the phase of going back together. Heads and ported intake have arrived along with all the front suspension goodies. While I waited on parts I also installed a racetronix fuel pump and hotwire kit, Tick Adjustable MC, and got a innovate wideband plumbed into the factor PCM to log while tuning.

Awesome build! My brother had a 97 TA same color back in 06. I wish he had cared more about hot rodding and detailing like I did, but that bug never caught him. He sold it and bought a SVT Focus and that was a huge mistake.

Got the engine assembled over the weekend. Will be measuring for pushrods tonight and getting those ordered. We are getting close!
