| F-Body Demon's 1991 Pontiac Trans Am GTA | |||
| I bought the car and it was as stock as it could possibly be. I went and tore the intake manifold off the first weekend to put on new intake manifold gaskets...and during that time I took the old die grinder and went to town on the plenum and stock runners, as well as the back of the stock throttle body (pretty sure that was a bad idea). After that I installed a MSD coil and a K&N element in the stock air cleaner housing. Ran the car right after and ripped off a 15.65 at 89...was not happy at all. Unfortunatly 2 weeks after that I nailed a curb and lost one of the factory rims. Having an uncle who ran a tire shop I ended up with a set of 16" American Racing Hoopster wheels and some nice sticky cheap shoes (245x50x16s). From there I ordered a PCMFORLESS.COM tune and I went and had a Flowmaster 80 muffler installed. Took it back to the track and ran a 15.31 at 91.8. Still not too happy but I was seeing progress. That was at the end of drag racing season and that winter I lost the transmission. I realized it one day when I nailed it from a stop and I had all the lights and noises...but the car wasnt moving lmao. It killed me but I had to put the car up for almost a year in that shape, I went to bootcamp MCT and MOS School after that. So when it came time to go to my duty station I sold all of my other projects and paid for a tranny rebuild. The shop went through and upgraded the tranny to better internals and a shift kit, as well as a GM Corvette non lockup 2000 rpm stall convertor. And I drove it from New Mexico to North Carolina...only to have the fuel pump fail in Tennessee  OH!:.As of now, im in the middle of doing a baseline and retune to get it ready for the next set of upgrades. |
