This is the video that I made by myself. You can find a topic that tells all the story about the car in engine swap section under "finally it's happening (305 to 502 Ram jet...)" thread...
Re: A very cool video with 502 Ram Jet Trans AM GTA
That was just bad ***. I'm going to say that it is always nice to see other people in the world outside of North America not bad mouthing autos from the west and going beyond just enjoying them. The first thing that came to mind was, Need a different tire compound? HAHA sweeeet torque with that 502! Can't wait to see another video!

Re: A very cool video with 502 Ram Jet Trans AM GTA
Thanks all, I am really glad that you liked it... Let me ask you a question, When I slam on the brakes at 3000RPM with high speed, my rear end starts to go up and down, I guess rear wheels lock and somehow they cause my rear end to go up and down...
Re: A very cool video with 502 Ram Jet Trans AM GTA
Although I put an adjustable proportioning valve, I still lock the rear wheels first... And an another issue: I removed the usual rubber proportioning thing from the stock proportioning valve to increase the braking power (while still using the adjustasble one)but I guess It did not helped at all. Even it got worse... When I put the original one back in than what's the point of using an adjustable one?? The old one is too strong that It feels like it stops all the brake fluid to back
My shocks are tokiko illuminia adjustable, It can be adjusted in 5 ways... Do you know any better shocks?
Thanks a lot...
