Anyone with a 2000 Trans?

[DOHC Cobra]

Looking at this 2000 TA that I posted in another thread. I just wanted to know who all here has a 00' TA? What do you or don't you like about it? Is it reliable. I just want to know the pro's and con's of the 00' Thanks for any info.

to tell you the truth..if your looking at the 00'...just pony up (no pun intended) and get a 01-02 ls1..they have the ls6 intake and are usually better cars..cleaner engine bay due to the lack of the air and egr system

agreed...hate my stupid 2000 engine bay and all its ugly wires. Hopefully Y2K will be helping me take care of that soon. (I drive an SS, but engine bay is basically the same).

ahh not so much. HP tuner can tune a 98 just as well as a 99+ if your looking for a hand held tunner then your SOL

you can get a 00 for cheaper than a 01 02 then just shell out $300 get a LS6 intake and delete the EGR adn Air problem solved.

and upgrade your injectors to 28s. and if a manual upgrade the hydrolic system and the clutch... like i said over all 01-02s are better cars..now if hes going to mod them heavy then f-that get a 98-00... but if he wants a relatively mild modded car then 01-02s are the way to go.

basicly what i did and have not had any problems with the car

and upgrade your injectors to 28s.

why?

[stangslayer98]

amen to the 98's

[jujofields]

why?

1999-2000 cars switched to 26 lb fuel injectors; 98s, 01s, and 02s all came equipped with the 28 lb injectors but the 99s and 00s only got the 26 lb injectors...

but why upgrade?

I can't speak for him, but I think Shady was just listing the better performance options that came stock with the 01s and 02s versus the 98-00 Trans Ams...so he was making the point that, in addition to the other parts he mentioned, the injectors would have to be increased to have all the advantages of the 01-02 models....

...Like I said, that's just my interpretation of Shady's reply.....chime in if I'm wrong Shady lol...

[WS6ICK]

I have a 2000 TA, WS6. I did a heads/cam/headers install. I removed air/egr/cats and installed LS6 intake. Engine bay is cleaned up.

the reason i asked why is because upgrading the injectors isnt cheap and youll only get a few h.p from upgrading unless you plan on modding your car for alot of h.p

[blackls1ta]

if you are doing major mods like h/c/i exhaust might as well move to the 30 lb svos like i did my 26s were maxed at 110 without using nitrous
