After a few years I was finally able to get the car put together and tuned. Also got a new camera and decided to throw up a vid for everyone. I bought the car bone stock down to the paper filter and it has progressed every year. I have about 50 passes on the car since I bought it.

Ran low 13's @ 108 with just an SLP lid and chopped off muffler ( yeah I was young)
Ran 12.7's-12.8's @ 109-110 with the addition of headers and true duals dumped before the axle.
Ran 11.8's-11.9's @ 122-123 with 1.9+ 60ft with the addition of prostar/skinny fronts, spare/jack delete and 150 wet shot still on the 10-bolt

I have not ran the current setup with the addition of H/C/I and full suspension wheels tires etc... I'm hoping for mid 10's on motor. PS the car weighs around 3000 lbs now give or take

Right around 600 on the shot if I remember correctly.

Any questions about the setup please feel free to ask.

Holy mother of duration, good call on the gear lol. Any reason you went with such a big grind with mid 10's in mind on motor?

MTBsully Why wont it stay running without throttle?

The change in weather and the speed density tune, that was the first startup in a few weeks as well so I'm guessing that also had something to do with it.

N thanks everyone for the kind words.

I went with the T-rex because I wanted a max effort setup but ended up throwing heads on and also knew it was a great nitrous cam as well.

I've always greatly preferred the sound of a LS motor to a DOHC Ford motor. Just sounds so deep and badass, and your car is no exception. The WS6 cars are so cool

I 1000000000% percent agree with this, God I love a dub 6. It has that unexplainable raw look to it. The SS in those years was just too soft looking for me.

Can't agree more. I have owned an 86 Trans Am, 95 Firehawk, 97 Anniversary Camaro Z28, and an 01 SS Camaro. None compare with the overall aggressiveness and styling.

The only thing that came close was my 1973 Trans Am lol!
