Speaking of performance, what all is done to this baby?
Just a cheap *** "bombz" intake, and flowmaster muffler. If the engine ever goes out, and we have to put a new motor in it we may do an lsx swap or maybe even just a built 350. Yeah the performance is ****.

Its all in the runners. Shorter runners equals more power. Mine makes 355 RWHP at 5300 rpms, and carries that to 5800 before falling off.

Another member of our thirdgen club has a grey '89 GTA that makes 389 RWHP at 6100 thru an automatic. He was at the LA Invasion and went 12.12 @ 111 MPH.

LT1 swap is simple and easy.

You need to update your sig.
