got the car back!!
so after over a month of waiting....ive got the car back. its still got some kinks ive gotta work out. i had rear springs put on yesterday and changed the differential fluid, now ive just gotta weld the egr to the headers (or do something to keep it from leaking making an obnoxious ticking noise), and just some other minor things. ill have pics and video up sometime this week more than likely

Hey man I hit a deer in my FiREbird yeah it sucks,

Nice car, and 300 HP from an N/A V6? Impressive! Do you have any vids of the car running?
Nope, my tranny and rearend are stock and holding up just fine so far.
Thats a clean car man!
I can only hope to do some of the stuff you have done to mine.
Just so you know, a nice ride and I gave you 15 stars If you have a chance I would appreciate you rating and comment on mine, Thanks
saying from what I've learned on my forum about these cars. FTV6.com btw.
You should get it dyno'd before you claim it to be 300rwp cause Theres not very many guys able to get 300whp out of these V6's.
I'd beleive it could be 300bhp which is at the crank but whp is doubtful.
Not trying to reighn on your parade but im just
Hell these cars stock can pretty much take out mid 90's mustang Gt's lol
Mine looks good in pics but in person you can tell how old she is lol, Needs a paintjob, a good cleanup under the car and hood etc. How u know ur at 300hp? what gear/rear u got?
Nice bird.
Dont let people talk you into a V8 either. They just dont wanna get beat by a V6 firebird.
