Turbo powered Trans Am in the works

The Pontiac Trans Am has been around since 1968 and has always had a place in the performance market. With changes in the trends evolving around the automotive industry, some vehicles have found themselves being pushed aside. This is just what has happened with the Trans Am along with the Pontiac line of vehicles. But like many others the love for those vehicles never dies and people will continue to collect and build them for many years to come. Take a look at this Trans Am we found being built by a few YellowBullet members.

YellowBullet is the leader in the message board world and their members are always building some great cars. Just like the one we have featured here.

The chromoly cage fits nicely inside the drivers compartment.

Starting off life as a LS1 with a six speed manual transmission equipped car, it has underwent quite a transformation while in the chassis shop. A large part of what has been done is reducing wait and adding strength to the cars structure. One of the easiest things to go after is the front suspension and that is just what has been done. Midwest Chassis installed a tubular k-member along with upper and lower control arms made out of chromoly tubing. Midwest also fabricated the chromoly roll cage in the inside with an adjustable seat mount.

The engine will consist of a 6.o liter iron block packed with Wiseco pistons and Callies rods. Patriot Performance got the nod for their Stage 3 cylinder heads that will work in conjunction with a home made turbo setup. The turbo set up will have a Precision 76mm turbo that is being used with a pair of truck manifolds. A built TH400 transmission with trans-brake will back the engine. Look for this car to be hitting the 275 Drag Radial scene later this year. Also be sure to stop over at YellowBullet and let BrokeEF and Sideways240SX what you think of their creation.
