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. (it is about 20 lbs. lighter.) 245/40 17 BF Goodrich tires on Eagle 5 spoke Polished wheels. And for the sound system, Orion HDDA mono 1200 watt amp for the 3-10" Fosgates. Soundstream dvd/cd player with a 5.5" moniter. Orion 4 channel amp for the Orion 6"mid bass,Infinity mids&tweeters in the doors and Infinitys in the back hatch, w/sirius satelite system for the digital sound. Items to follow:Ram air hood, 150 shot NOS, Eibach lowering springs. Pictures to follow (Now wheres that Mustang)


.........................................This is what Mustangs, Vets, and Vipers will see in front of them............


BBK 52 mm throttle body

Pacesetter headers

K&N cold air intake


17" Eagle alloys, BF Goodrich 245/40/17 all around


I like the way these tips filled up the factory cut outs and i did'nt want to go with round tips like everybody else
