Kat, that is a STOUT 355. Nice work on the engine and it appears you've got the tune pretty close as well...

Thanks man, and yeah i just lowered it too hahaha that picture was done not to long after the swap. So no i have the lowing springs in, eye liner or raccoon eyes done to it and the euro parking light, looks really nice i also added in rear lower control arms and adj panhard bar.

This is my 87 trans am 5.7, 350, TPI. All origanal, soon to be custom.

 

What a waste.

 

Why do you say that?

 

WOW, what a harsch MODERATOR ????? scaring off new members..mmmhhhh

NOT COOL !!!!!!!!!!

 

...and I think I've said this 3 times now. GMHTP does not cover carburated cars. So if you're posting in here expecting them to pay attention to your car, you're barking up the wrong tree.

 

nothing scares me off. i dont get it though? what am i wasting? and its tuned port injection "TPI"...no carb buddy

 

what am i wasting?

 

what am i wasting? I save my stock parts i can alwase put it back?

 

there is a lot of nice cars on here that could easily be in the mag. i don't know why they would need more to choose from. and not putting a car in the mag cause it has a carb is absolutely bull. yea, i got a carb.

 

GM high tech only specifically showcases "Fuel injected" GM performance vehicles.

GM performance mag and / or Chevy high performance magazine showcases high performance GM vehicles of the carb'd variety. If you are carb'd, then those are the magazines you should shoot for.

GM high tech will not feature any carb'd vehicle.

 

The magazine in question here is GM High Tech Performance. The magazine is ALL ABOUT later model fuel injected GM cars. It's not a bash on your car, they are just choosing to focus on EFI cars. Carburated cars are not what their magazine covers, period. The editors can cover whatever they want, it's their magazine so they get to make the rules, that doesnt make it "bull" that they won't cover your car. If you think your car is magazine worthy, then contact the multitude of other car mags that cover carb'd cars.

 

Don't take that the wrong way, it looks like you have a nice clean stock car there. There are not alot of those left!

 

Any news on anyone getting picked???

 

You are the first person I've seen in my entire life run the Random Tech catback, and I'm not sure why that is; they apparently make great cats, and their system is 3" mandrel bent stainless with straight tailpipes (no tips) that are 45* cut--all business, nothing flashy.

How do you like this catback?? For years I was set on it, but NOBODY runs it and I'm curious what the reason for that is.

 

look at post 339 on page 7

 

ahum

I can't believe no one noticed the absence of the windshield! Makes the stance look funny.

 

How does not having a windshield make the suspension stance look off??

And if you're talking about spike's car, it is/was still a work in progress, something that myself and others can really appreciate.

 

I don't know, I thought it made the nose look super long too and made the car look different. Now I realize that thing just sits too damn low.

 

That's your opinion

I think it looks hot.

 

His car is one of the hottest I've ever seen, IMO.

 

@iansane
Best looking convertible I've ever seen! Those Vette wheels are spot on!!!

 

My mistake. Sorry.

 

This is my 87 TA. 305 tpi auto. 60,200 miles. She is still a work in progress. I think she looks good for now. Only mod is a DYNO MAX exhaust.

Cool!

Well, here is my '91 GTA that I bought in '99 stock. I've done most the work myself and there's a cool story with the car.

Basic mod list: 402ci LS2, th350, moser 9", cage, suspension, LS1 brakes, the list goes on and on. It was one of the first LS1 3rd gens back in '05 with a H/C 346/T56/9" setup. 2nd set of Hawk's stainless works longtubes... ok, I'll stop now.

It runs 9.81 @ 138 on nitrous, full weight 3600lbs, 93 octane, full exhaust, DOT tires... STREET car.

Jake Amatisto from Promedia and another gentleman did a full photo shoot of the car at the LSX Shootout in St. Louis back in October 2010. Haven't heard anything from them yet, they were talking about a writeup in FSC, but they said others would see the pictures so who knows.

 

That thing is badass..

 

You got that right

 

Were these taken on the PCH between Santa Monica & Malibu? I bought my '91 camaro in Hollywood & I think I took some pics of mine near that same rock jetty in your pic!

 

Thank you sir. I don't post on here much anymore... not sure how many people really know my car anymore.

 

It's one of the reasons I swapped an LSx into my bird.

 

You bought a hell of a car there, the original owner created a masterpiece. Should be even better with your 355

 

Real sad story behind this one. The owner died from a heart attack shoveling snow a few years ago. He had a son who owned a mustang and the two had a great bond. I keep it in my garage. It has just about every mod you could do from the 90's (paxton , edelbrock heads , new 350block, etc). It needs a tune bad as that was the last step needed before the owner suddenly died. More to the story if the mags wanted to run with this.

I keep it with the stock 89 rims on it unlike this picture of it. Again it just sits in a storage garage.

I love it. I"ve had it on two different cars over the past 7 years.

As for why no one runs it. I dunno. I like it cause it quiets the car just enough without making it too loud. When going down I95 at 80 there isn't a drone at all with it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzB--k_I_Y0 (the motor only had 50 miles on it when this video was taken)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zpbv0OmgM4 (I ran 12.0 to a 11.0 in the Chevelle.. The Chevelle has a 540 Hardcore motor in it! That and it was the first time i had the vert to the track with the new motor and was getting the tune dialed in)

 

I wouldn't want to do an article on it, it isn't a show car its a driver but it would be cool to get in as a readers ride or something, I do have a youtube video of it running in the garage too...has too many mods to list really and right now its apart for the winter and getting a repaint in the spring

Just posting a updated picture.

 

I guess I got in? I haven't seen the issue yet but I'm excited!

 

u did? wow congrats

 

yes congrats man!

 

I've been to 5 or 6 grocery stores plus a Barnes & Noble and can't find a copy anywhere!
