About this Current Vehicle:

Duplicate of an 1989 Turbo Trans Am with a few improvements.

Vehicle Journal:

Jun 02

NR 3 2008 issue of Auto Tuning Swiat

On page 46 you'll find this car in a 4 page feature Smile I've put some scans in the gallery. Thanks Marcin for a great job.

Mar 31

May 2007 Issue of GM High Tech Performance

On page 24 you'll find this car in a 5 page feature Smile I've put some scans in the gallery.

Factory Options:

Originally an L98/A4 car that ran 13.70's with minor bolt ons and 13.05 with a little spray

Exterior Modifications:

3" Harwood fiberglass cowl hood and window tint.

Interior Modifications:

Summit racing seats, RCI 5 point harness, and an 8 point roll bar done by my father and me.

Performance:

1987 LC2 motor out of a 40K mile Grand National. Stock block, crank, connecting rods, JE pistons, small roller cam, mildly ported "TTA" heads, port matched stock intake, Precision PT70 p-trim turbo, CAS front mount intercooler, and 83# injectors.
Best times: 60ft 1.476, 1/8 6.692@103.36mph, 1/4 10.504@128.89mph

That was running 116 octane race gas and 27psi of boost, but it still runs pretty good in total street trim. With 93 octane in the tank and 18psi of boost it's gone 1.509 60ft, 6.989 @ 96.64mph 1/8mile, and 11.068 @ 120.17mph 1/4mile with this current weight and combo on 3/21/2009.

Suspension/Chassis:

Stock front with Lakewood 90/10 struts, Moroso springs, and no front sway bar. Rear has Hotchkis trailing arms and panhard rod, Jegster torque arm, Lakewood 50/50 shocks, stock springs with air bags, and a stock sway bar. Brakes have been upgraded to 1LE package twin piston alum front calipers and single piston alum rear calipers.

Drivetrain:

TH400 built by myself with a 3200rpm ATI converter and Hughes brake. 3" moly driveshaft by the driveshaft shop. 12 bolt Moser rear w/3.42 gears turns 28x11.5x16 Hoosier Quick Time Pro DOT tires.

Electronics:

Scanmaster 2. Innovative MSBC-1 multi stage boost controller. AEM wideband tied into the factory ECM thanks to Eric at Turbotweak.com. Caspers Knock gauge. Autometer 35psi boost gauge and Autometer shift light.

To-Do List:

Alot of stuff I want to do, but dont know what will actually get done.

Thanks, it's been good to me all this time so it's getting a little break Smile When it comes back out I hope to have a forged bottom end in it and push a little deeper

This car is super efficient on pump gas! 11.doh's @ 120 is hauling the mail.

I need to invest in a different converter for sure!

11.0x on pump gas? That's moving man! Sucks you couldn't get that 10 second time slip on 93 octane.
