Default 98 Trans Am?

I've had this car for a while and had plans to eventually make this into a drag car but I'm going to colloge in oklahoma while the car is in houston and I'm trying to decide whether to sell it and pick something up here or deal with trying to get it up here.

Its a 98 Trans am with 98k miles
After i got it the engine let out and I replaced it with a motor out of an 01
WS6 with 50k miles on it
Motor:
TSP lid
FAST 90 Nick Williams 90mm TB
Futural F13 cam
Absolute Speed stage 2 heads
Kooks 1 7/8 w/ORY
Hooker catback with SLP tips

Trans:
Circle D built MVB TH350
Circle D 3800 stall
B&M Pro Ratchet shifter

Suspension:
BMR K member
BMR subframe connectors
BMR Torque arm
BMR lower control arms
BMR adjustable panhard rod
Hotchkis lowering springs

Rearend:
10 bolt 3.42 gears out of 02 ws6 with TA girdle

Misc:
SVO 42 lb injectors
Walbro 255 pump
Raptor shift light mounted in the defrost in pillar
Steel driveshaft

Before the th350 and kooks with 3.73 gears it made 427/421 stall unlocked
with the th350 and kooks made 407/380

when the car was cam only and bolt on's it went consisten 11.57

since the heads, th350, and old FLP's havent ran 1/4 but its gone 7.27 in 1/8

now with the kooks and retune should be knockin on the door of 10's easily.

I still have the built 4L60e that was in it and im just wondering how much you guys think i could get for it as is, because swapping it back would be a pain.... I miss having a fun car to drive so if i could sell it and pick up something local that would be great.
here are some pics:




what do you guys think????

Pretty nice car. The Th350 would be a downer for me personally though. I like cars I can drive cross country and run 10's. But I would say you should be able to get 9-10K out of it.
