Haven't been around in a real long time, but I guess I'll be around more often now. I still have the TA, but it's no longer my daily driver, since I got a 94 3.4 Camaro a couple days ago. I pretty much had to get a daily beater since I kinda went crazy on the TA and it really isn't easy to drive on the street anymomre. Anyway, it's good to be back. I already see some familiar names. Hopefully some of you remember me. :D

Hehe... thats a long list.....
The time in the sig is on my old setup, big cam, holley manifold, longtubes, poly motor/tranny mounts, bmr subframe connectors, lcas, and relocation brackets, yank 3500 stall and 3.73 gears.
New setup added a MUCH bigger cam, alot of valvetrain work (built to spin high), forged bottom end, fully built tranny, yank 4000 stall, and a spohn torque arm. No times on the new setup yet. It needs more gear, so I'll get some times down when I put 4.10s in it.-<i>Travis</i><br /><b>99 Trans Am, Pewter, A4</b> Forged, stalled, and cammed<br /><b>85 Buick Regal WH1 T-Type</b> It\'d be cool if it ran...<br /><b>94 Camaro 3.4, Teal, M5</b> The daily beaterComment

I would like to see the TA running at about 11.2 or better on motor. I built the engine for nitrous, so a 200 shot or so should put me easily into the deep 10s territory.
I don't have any recent pics of the TA or the camaro right now, I'll get some up. I do have some pics during "the build" that lasted nearly a year. One thing led to another and the next thing I knew I was rebuilding the motor, the transmission, and painting the engine bay of the car.
Here's a few shots of the car torn down:

I need to get back down there, very nice track. Maybe after I put the 4.10s in I'll shoot over to OSW, since I'll be in Orlando for the retune anyway.-<i>Travis</i><br /><b>99 Trans Am, Pewter, A4</b> Forged, stalled, and cammed<br /><b>85 Buick Regal WH1 T-Type</b> It\'d be cool if it ran...<br /><b>94 Camaro 3.4, Teal, M5</b> The daily beaterComment

Wow, I have never seen a TA stripped down to that. You must be very comfortable working to this level. Are you a mechanic? Do you work in the automotive field?Originally posted by Skinny:

Thats awesome man, good for you. I'm glad to see there are mechanics working for Pontiac/GM that take a liking to these cars like you do. It definitely helps to have access to the parts department and the service manuals too! My brother'n law is a mechanic at a Chev dealership, but he isn't licensed yet.. he still helps me out for problems here and there. But its not like knowing how to do it for yourself. That is a great skill to have, definitely a good trade to be in.Originally posted by Skinny:
