Greetings from OKC
Howdy all. I'm Bradley, and I live in a town called Mustang outside of Oklahoma City. I'm 34, and I'm a flight simulator technician working for the FAA. I've been into cars for well over 20 years, and I'm no stranger to almost everything automotive. I have a total of 4 rides...first is an '08 Impala SS, second is an '06 Grand Prix.
The third one is my last project, a 1997 Bonneville SSE...this one is pretty heavily modified. It has an L26 w/L36 upper intake w/L67 throttle body, 24 lbs. injectors, returnless fuel system, 3" exhaust, 2006 4T65e modded with shift kit, 3.29 HD diff (with the 1:1 drive/driven, that makes it 3.29 final), and all controlled with a 2005 Impala PCM flashed with a 2003 Grand Prix OS that's been modded to run the returnless setup and the L67 TB. Even though the tune is off, it still puts out 245 hp/255 lbs-ft torque via the ScanGauge2...and it's fun to drive.
Which brings me to #4....a 1996 Camaro convertible RS. I got it a week ago, and it's in BAD shape. No engine/trans, interior is NASTY (well, WAS...I ripped it all out), frontend damage that was poorly repaired. It's saving graces are the top (it appears newer) and very little rust over all. Plans call for L26 core w/cam and most mods from the Bonneville carried over, color change to Dark Cherry metallic, and a full-on suspension build as I want this to be a handler (I can do w/o speed, and I love the fuel mileage I can get with the 3800. Plus...I know that motor).
