Hey all,

My name is rick and i just recently came across a T/A that i could not live with until i had it in my garage. I was turned on to this site by a buddy on my truck board nodvak, so thanks to him to giving me a site with a lot of useful info. So I am totally new to the muscle car scene and would appreciate any advice anyone can share with me. Below is a write up of what "the dealer" wrote about my car having. Enjoy!

Rick

1985 Pontiac Trans Am 350 Cubic Inch Super Charged engine delivering 475 Horse power through a Bullet proof TH400 Transmission. MSD Ignition, 350 LSI Paxton Super Charger shift gauge, 3 inch exhaust with flow master mufflers, fiberglass hood, T-Tops, Rear spoiler, 16" Billet specialty wheels with 4 wheel disc brakes, and a new engine with less than 4,000 miles on it.

This set up seems to run flawlessly so far as i drove it 4 hours for NJ to VA before putting her up for the week mainly i will bring the lady out on weekends depending on the weather and take her to the track in MD once in a while. The only thing i notice so far is that the switch from first to second at cruzing speeds is nothing less than a jerk...and i assume that is from the TH400 tranny? like i said before any info. is much appreciated.

 

yep, transmission has had some work done to it to shift hard like that.. no biggie.

nice lookin car, btw (although i'm not a fan of the spoiler)

 

Looks like fun. How much boost is it getting? How much you buy it for?

 

Sweet looking ride, motor looks pimp.

 

that car is awsome. Ive never been a big fan of that style bird but that is just sexy.

 

nice looking car i cheeked it out for musclecar grarge but they wanted too much $ what did you pay for it? also it looks like a L98 not a LS1 . have fun with it.

 

it says LSI not LS1

 

Damn that looks good, engine and paint. I'm tossing up a black paint scheme idea at the moment, david hasselhoff told me to.

 

thanks for the props guys...can i be so ignorant to ask what is the difference between a LSI and LS1? i know the 1 is out of o vette right? and the I? any info would help thanks. and firebirdjosh you can't go wrong with black good luck

I would think LSI is the part number or series for the Paxton blower. The LS1 is a GEN 3 General Motors engine.

 

i thought it went (L98,3rdgen)then (LT1 4th gen1993-1997 or something like that),and LS1 1998-2002 4th gen BUT what is the lsi all about?

 

omg he just explained it, the L S I is appearently something to do with paxton, if you read his sentence correctly, it makes more sense

 

so how much do you really know about Paxton superchargers? if you think an lsi is a type of paxton you need to read up a bit http://www.paxtonauto.com/history.html omg... that blower is probadly is a SN 89 or a SN 92.
it kinda sux when dealer misleads buyers but over all i really like the car, i even have it for me screansaver.

 

Hella-nice ride, someone may have an LS1 plate on the throttle body but it is definately not

 

thank you

 

SWWEEEEEEEEETT!!!
