It's getting better , my friend . I have spent enough money on that car to have bought the T/A on the left and had some change left over. I still haven't bought everything I need to complete the LS1 project but I'm just about there. The problem I have had lately is everything I order for it is not in stock. I'm waiting on the Baer Track Claw brake kit ( complete kit 13.5 front rotors , 12 rear rotors , calipers , adj.proportioning valve ) , the Borla stainless steel catback, BMR panhard rod, and BMR 3 point STB to show up. I've already paid for this stuff , it's not made it to my door yet.My poor office and garage has tons of boxes stacked up with new parts in them.

Here's a question and I'll put on my flame suit for ignorace. Warning this might be long.
My first F-Body was a 1989 Firebird Formula. DEAD BONE STOCK. It ws gorgeous and I hope to own another one day.
Anyway it had the 5.0 Tuned Port, 3:45 9 bolt rear, Borg Warner 5 Speed, WS6. (I still have the RPO codes)
Anyway it ran like a raped ape and ran (here we go) 13.8's in the 1/4. (I don't have the slips anymore, and I don't have access to them as I'm in Iraq) at ATCO in New Jersey (October, cool day), granny shifting. This car was so bad ass that someone stole it from me after going to the races one night or I would still have it to this day.
No one knew why this car was so fast. It was stock I can assure that. I used to dust IROC-Z's, GTA's, Vettes, and Formula 350's, 5.0 Mustangs. Only thing that would smack me around were GN's and anything modded. Did anyone else have a freak like that? Where these cars known for being especially quick? I'm a pretty good driver, but not enough to make up for 5-8 tenths in the 1/4.
Also if someone has an 89 Formy for sale PM me. I wanna buy one when I get back from Iraq. Thanks for listening and appreciate any info you can give me.

The Formy was lighter than the Z's or Trans Ams. That and the 5.0/t5 combo was basicallly as fast as the L98 cars. You probably just had a factory freak.
