Now it's too loud and the motor lopes. It's hard to hide the fact that the car is fast now. I'll be curious to see what she'll do on a dyno or at the track. It's finally faster than my RS 'vert.

Thanks Don!

Re: I just got my Firebird back...

Some recycled parts that is true. The TC is from Jerry. Got the Accel TPI base off eBay. Dual cats came from a complete header & exhaust take-off I picked up locally years ago. A new ZZ4 takeoff cam from back when they were swapping them out of brand new engines for hotter cams. Otherwise all new stuff. I had my trans rebuilt. I've had the engine at Don's awaiting the transplant for years. It must be the used computer from a Cheby Beretta that is why the car is so much faster. lol My old '88 LB9 engine is available if someone needs it.
