I bought this 1997 Pontiac Trans am in 2000 because my girlfriend (x now) didnt like getting into my lifted Bronco (see "soo tuff")It had 13,400 miles on it when i got it from a police auction i guess it was siezed for running drugs. i was doing pretty good on keeping the miles down on it until i met this cute little girl in Texas. needless to say i was driving back and forth to north Texas for six months 2 times a month (Ya it was good) and at 2400 miles a trip i started piling on the miles.I loved getting out on that open road between New Mexico and Texas where i could open her up. I would get it up to 145mph with plenty to go. At 130,000 miles on her and 1 week after i put my new LT4 Cam in it ($3000.) i was racing a mustang down the 51 when i noticed him pulling away, and at 145 mph i thought to myself, either he just hit the NOS or i broke. well when i looked down at my tach ,it was on 0. well, I spun a cam bearing and 2 rod bearings. And so heres my new motor: 5.7 LT1 350 bored 30 over,11:5:1 compression, LT4 Hot Cam, Roller rockers, milled & ported heads,Pacesetter headers with y pipe, Flowmaster exhaust,Hypertech Programmed computer,52mm BBK trottle body,BBK under pulley,K&N cold air intake system, MSD wires,MSD Opti spark, switched my drive shaft to a ls1 aluminum shaft.
