Street Build About Finished. Liked to Know What You All Think.

My 87 Trans Am is about finished and almost ready to hit the streets. Since it is mainly going to be a weekend street car, I figured I would post in here and see what people thought. It might occasionally see a track, so anyone who wants to share on that is welcome as well. This build is mild, but I think it will be pretty fun to play around with.

96 Vortec 350 (fresh rebuild, but stock)
Vortec Heads (stock except springs)
Comp Cams XE270HR (218/224 @.50, .498/.502 lift, 110 LSA)
Jet Stage 2 Quadrajet Carb
Performer Intake
Hedman Longtubes
2.5in duals
2800 Stall
3.42 gears

This seem like it'll make a decent weekend car? Let me know what you all think!

Toss some decent self aligning roller rockers on and change the words 2800 stall to T56 and I think it will be awesome

Same boat. I had a T56 and a T5 car. They are fun for doing donuts and sliding around corners but I'd rather rock out in an auto.

Re: Street Build About Finished. Liked to Know What You All Think.

Sounds like a fun one, beef up the rear suspension, LCA's Torque arm, panhard, and SFC's, especially SFC's all of these will help put some of that power to the ground....
