Default 1998 NBM Trans Am (RAN LOW 12's) $5900

Okay, to make a long story short....3 days ago, I threw a rod due to a spun rod bearing. There is now a hole in the passenger side block. The car ran 12.0-12.1's at the track. Was a nice TA but I can't keep pouring money into it anymore.

I know someone out there can make this TA a beast again, I was thinking about forged everything with a 408.... But I can't afford the modding world anymore.

Still has the Z06 wheels on it, tranny is rebuilt by Deon Faulk @ Faulk Performance. Deon had alot of experience with rebuilding tranny's. Heavy duty everything was equiped, and set up for abuse.

No other problems besides the block, except the front seat has a tear.

Due to a large amount of interest and multiple offers close to my starting price, I will temperarly raise the price.

$5900

Here's a list of Performance Parts:

-MTI X1 230/227 .591/.571 112 ($225 from Board member)

Suspension:

HP Tuners Speed Density Tuned (12/25/2005)
Retuned after Converter (4/15/2005)

-Raised WOT timing from 18 degrees to 23.

-Correct WOT air/fuel ratio to approximately 12.6-12.7 from 3500 rpms up to redline.

-Disengaged all engine and transmission torque management functions.

-Lowered WOT shift enable TPS thresholds. Basically allows the car to WOT shift sooner right when you floor it. Quicker shift response. Also disengaged 3rd gear torque converter lockup. 4th gear lockup activates at 50 mph.

-Set speed limiter to 250 mph


NOTE: THE TA WAS TUNED AFTER THE CAM INSTALL AS WELL...

It's not a bad price. Throw a new short block in it ($2900 from many of the sponsors) and you'd have a nice car.

Then you would have over $10k into a 98 that was ran hard and put away wet. Bad idea.

Used shortblock + if the car was not as much it could be worthwhile.

Thanks bro, for those who are interested. I took alot of care of my TA, and it's been in the family since we bought it from the dealership in May of 98. The oil was changed regularly with Royal Purple every 3-4K miles.

This TA has been kept up with, but the current mods couldn't hold up.
