I just picked the car up in october...
62-1 and the turbo setup is almost identical to the BBSdesigns race kit.....I used their header, turbonetics 62-1, deltagate(just for now), Blitz DD supersound BOV, summit shorty headers for the DS header. Ill be making my own charge pipes....Ill start off nonintercooled but by mid summer Ill be Intercooled.
As for the motor.....Its just a stock 305 that I will add 24# injectors and a chip but I do have a 350 in my garage that is going to be the monster to rule Troy..... |

Car: 87 Trans Am GTA Engine: built 355 Transmission: 700R4 | are you going to do the tuning yourself? if not check out www.lsracingchips.com, he's somewhat local to you. I believe one of the guys on www.youngstownstreets.com is selling an IC right now, check it out if you're looking for one.
how much boost are you going to run? |

I plan on 6-7#'s on the 305.....approximatly 14 pounds on the 350...but of course I'll be running a different engine management system....I've really been reading up and really like the holley 950 setup.....as far as tuning....I'm not real over worried about it on the 305 with low boost so I found a guy that does chip burning
to burn me a chip...which will pretty much be whatever he does for boosted apps and allow me to use 24# injectors on the 305.
The 305 will be out of the car by november!!!! |

It's a ways off as my engine is just now getting built. But I'm building it with boost in mind. I also think I'm going to run the megasquirt with a 1200cfm 4barrel throttle body. I talked to you awhile back about bringing my car up there to have it tuned once it's done. |

I'm really not too big on the 305....really I'm just wanting to turbo it to drive it for a bit while I'm building my boost motor and saving for my rearend, ECU and tranny......as far as tuning I was just going to swap the chip and run it..
As far as injectors go..I was going to run 30#'rs but i was told they would be a bit much for the 305....I'll only drive this car maybe 5,000 miles a year, tops. probly under 1000 on the 305. But if I can get good tuning and a descent amount of power out of the 305 for decent price it could stay in longer so I cansave a bit moreand put a currie 9" rear in the car......
If you have any suggestions email me @ mefarrell@tlna.com |

Car: 87' Iroc-Z, 88' Iroc-Z Engine: 5.0L TPI, LSX Transmission: 700-R4, T-56 Axle/Gears: 2.73, 3.42 | I'm usually at tri-state most the summer. I won't make it out as much this year since my car is in pieces. but if your from the cincinnati area check out NKYFBA and GCFBA
i prefer the NKYFBA as they get together alot and a a bunch of cool people that are easy to get along with and will help you out if you need it.
I'm in middletown 1/2 hour north of you.

anyway anyone need a forged crank for a 350? I'm selling all my stuff for my 355 and that's about all I have left lol. I'm going LSx territory instead. I'm still gonna turbocharge it though. The way prices are dropping on those motors it's hard to beat. |
