car idling video... tell me what you think
hi everybody...... i would like to say that im glad to be apart of the third gen website.... ok..... im 19 years old and my dad bought me a 1988 5.7 trans am GTA as a graduation present...... i would say its in pretty good shape for its age..... i have a video of my car idling and i would like you guys to tell me what you think.... the only mods we've done to the car is full 3 inch flowmaster exhaust with high flow cat, msd ignition parts, k&n air filter and basically replaced all the worn stuff..... like the alternator brake booster tps switch etc.... i was wondering how much better would the car sound and perform if i put hedman long tubes headers(which i have but havent installed) powermax 2032 cam, AFPR, new springs, computer tune, rebuilt tranny with transgo shift kit and vette servo, higher stall converter and a tranny cooler....... could i acheive maybe 320 horsepower with this combo..... i need help.... here is the link for both videos oh and would that cam have any lope to it... or at least sound better than stock.... thanks

Re: car idling video... tell me what you think
I'm not an expert, but I don't think you will get 320HP with that combo.
If your shooting for 320HP, I would use better flowing heads, high-flow intake manifold, large tube runners, and a bigger cam.
Just my 2 cents.
Hope this helps!

Re: car idling video... tell me what you think
Dude, when I graduated, my dad gave me a slap on the back and said welcome to the real world. I wish he would have gotten me a GTA... would have saved me the money cause I ended up buying a 'Bird as a present to myself hahaha. Real nice car though, be proud of it.
