LS1 Trans am GTA
About this Current Vehicle:
I bought this car down in california, the previous owner swapped in the ls1 and t-56, gas tank, radiator and driveshaft from an 02 ws6 trans am. The car had 23k on it when it was rolled over, also had an slp loudmouth exhaust that was taken off the donor car.
it has recently had alot of body work done to it, as well as the installation of a ford 9" with 4.11 gears and a locker, as well as some Hawks Lontube headers, and a ported throttle body.
The car was originally an 84 trans am, but after finding an 88 gta i swapped all the parts over to the 84, including bumpers, gfx, tail lights, wheels, emblems, gold pontiac logo etc. i didnt take any suspension items off the gta because my 84 has aftermarket suspension.

Magnacharger!
Just bought a radix magnacharger today, Ill be swapping it on soon, probably using a 3.0 or 2.9 pulley, looking for 500 RWHP. Ill need truck accessories and a new hood.

Transmission mods
Recently did the infamous "Drill mod" to remove the restriction in the master to slave line. Heat wrapped the line from the master to the slave. Installed a WS6store Short shifter. Love the way it shifts now, no more not getting into 3rd, clutch pedal sticking to the floor or long throws.
