by the looks that thing should fly .nice looking ride;;;

[GotN2O]

First off I must say that is one beautiful bird and it oughtta run like a striped-ass ape. Those guys at TSP sure know there stuff. I have a quick question for you. I have the same wheels on my 01 Camaro, the torq thrusts IIs but I have 17x9.5s all the way around. The local dealer where I got mine said they didnt make them in the right backspacing in 17x11s for my camaro. Where did you order yours from and whats the backspacing?

[Mr. Luos]

American Racing's page for the right wheels (http://www.americanracing.com/appguide/final.asp?section=app&carID=788&picture=505&desc=%2B55+OE+OFFSET&detail=50571163&year=1999&make=PONTIAC&model=FIREBIRD%2CTRANS+AM)
As far as I know, they should fit any late model Camaro/Firebird.

Thanks for the compliments!!

[nhra-trans-am]

wow! looks nice and clean

[Bandit4142]

I've got nothing but luv for the Pure Black Ram Air's..... with a build like that and looks to kill for, that sir, is a thing of beauty. Nice work.

[02NHRAtransAm]

car is beautiful, might wanna get some new tips though ;) other than that it is flawless :)

[x-40oz-x]

Now that's one hell of a damn nice car.:yup:
How much hp/tq are you expecting?

Thanks. I will be happy with anything over 475 RWHP. Would be nice to see right around 500 though. Probably a touch less torque, but should be over 400 ft/pounds from 2800 on. I hope. I will know soon enough. Complete dyno tune is April 19th.

I have been bugged about that before.
I kinda like the subtle look of the pipes the way they are. Maybe in the future.

Sweet car...Dreaming of one, myself.


Not to be a distraction, but is that a Z06 in the background of a couple of the pictures?

Never the less, awesome car!

[Mr. Luos]

Yes, it is a Z06.

'Wicked LT1' on the boards owns it.

[Mr. Luos]

Thanks. Been a long time coming, car was on jackstands since August. Finally came out to play about 2 months ago sometime in February.

Eibach ProKit springs go on Sunday. Along with a couple other little suspension things. LCA's, LCA brackets, and adj. panhard bar. Should help with the stance.
