About this Current Vehicle:

UPDATE! She's alive! I finally got her started today 10/23/07. SJM abs delete/ linelock will be here on Monday. By Tuesday, I should be able to take for a ride. I'll keep you updated.


I bought this car new in 1995 with just 66 miles on the odometer. I bought here in Albuquerque, NM at Quality Pontiac. This was my first and only brand new car. Also, this was my first BIG purchase/investment.

Vehicle Journal:

Nov 18

DYNO

Took her to the dyno last night to do some tuning. Made a few pulls. Best she put down was 752 hp/72x tq! Not to shabby, huh!

Factory Options:

My car came with t-tops, leather and a six speed.

Exterior Modifications:

Only exterior mods I have are some Budnik wheels.

Interior Modifications:

Inside I have Lou Salzano short stick and Autometer guages in a pillar pod.

Performance:

She's pretty much finished and she's a bad ass! 752 hp/72x tq @ 15psi. The motor is a 396 LT1 with Callies Racemaster crank, Callies splayed billet caps, Eagle rods, JE blower pistons, Comp Cams 224/236 blower grind camshaft, port and polished heads ( hope to get a nice set of heads soon), etc. Currently my brother and I have fabbed up turbo set up for my Formula. It consists of a Borg Warner S400 turbo, JGS wastegate, tial 50 mm blow off valve, relocated radiator and fans, dynatech split flow muffler, OBX intercooler. The whole turbo set up was fabbed up by brother and I. The only thing we didnt fab were the Slick Fit headers. Hopefully we'll have this baby running soon.

Suspension/Chassis:

For my suspension I have a PA Racing K member and UMI lower A arms. In the rear I have a set of Lakewood LCA.

Drivetrain:

I currently have a T-56 sixspeed. But I hope to sell it and conver to a TH400 and get a nice 9" or 12 bolt put in the rear. For now the stock ten bolt has 3.42 gears.

Electronics:


To-Do List:

Replace header gaskets, weld IAT sensor bung to elbow, order a new blow off valve spring, and figure out whats goin on with my wastegate.
