This is the deal:
In High School my graduating class was a bunch of muscle car enthusiasts especially our auto shop. Gathering up our senior auto shop class consisted of my 85 Firebird 5.0L with a 5 speed, (3) Mustang 5.0L a few other firebirds and a Trans Am. This was a great time.
After High School I had to ditch the firebird because I had many engine problems and transmission problems to boot. But I kept the dream alive.
Here it is 6 years since I graduated and I just picked up a 99 Trans Am that is loaded with an LS1 and a 6 speed that is awesome!  I just started to put some 3000 miles on her, and she is a real blast.
I have named her appropriately Great White.  Modifications are fun.
Update 8/15/99
Well I have finally broken into 13s with the car. She has just over 7000 miles now. 
At Englishtown for the Mustang Vs. F-Body day  I ran a 13.9 @ 105. 
A few weeks later I ran (3) 13.6x on a cooler night at Island Dragway.
To see the progression of ETs just follow the links.
Now I have seen the bottom of the 13s with a 13.012 @ 109.98. This has come at the expense of the cheap Goodyear RS-A tires. 
Update 11/20/00
This spring I finnally picked up some take off wheels from SLP and some Nittos for them.  I also got 4 new replacements   street tires GSCs from SLP.  She now has 25K on the clock.  Now I just have to figure out how to launch on the nittos!  Installed the first set of KVR carbon fiber brake pads.
Update 4/20/01
Just got her on the Chassis dyno at the F-Body Nationals 2001.  8/4/2001.  Got the whole thing on Video!   
306 Rear Wheel HP and 319 Rear Wheel TQ!!!

The original window sticker says '305 Crank Hp' what a joke, sionce the car will loose 15-17% of the power thru the drive train, which means that it is making near 350 HP / 366 TQ up front.  What an awesome engine.
Update 8/20/01

Ok now the year is 2002 and it looks to be a promising year for cash and trophies...

Just before the end of last year I had Spoon lower control arms and Pan Hard Rod installed along with a Torque arm bushing.
For Christmas I received an SLP Driveshaft loop and the Hurst Roll Control (line locks).  James and I just installed them over the weekend and I tested this out at Englishtown.  Bottom line,  what a great way to get consistency.  Burnouts are now no problem with the line lock on the nitto drag radials.  These drag radials are hooking more than the clutch can take (launching now @ 4000 and flooring it).  My ETs are hanging around 12.9x - 13.0x and I believe the clutch is the limiting factor on my ETs since it won't get below 2.0x but there is now spin after the launch and my 330' and 1/8 show this.  The suspension work seems to be just what the car needed with the tires too. 
While at Englishtown this weekend I got a trophy for winning 2 rounds of eliminations at the Mustang vs. Buick / Pontiac day. That makes 1 trophy from e-town for each year I have been racing except 99.  Hopefully I can get a few more this year!

Here we are in 2003 and this is a busy year for sure!  Elyssa and I got married on July 4th and the Trans Am even got mention during the ceremony.   I was also able to include the car in the pictures and the video from the reception!   After we got back from our honeymoon I started a clutch project and replaced the stock clutch with 48K with a GM Z06 Clutch kit that included a replacement flywheel, and slave cylinder.  For the first time this year I actually won $ at the track for an event.  

Update 8/26/03
The year is now 2004 with 55K and there have been many improvements made.  Christmas 2003 and birthday I received a Magna Flow Cat Back exhaust system and a Diablo Sport Predator computer tuning and diagnostics hand held.  A tough day at the track drag racing has brought on some valve train replacements.  The valve train upgrade included all new pushrods, hydraulic roller lifters, all new Manley stainless steel valves, a valve job and Patriot dual spring kit with titanium retainers.   To finish out the upgrade I replaced the stock timing chain with a Roll Master dual roller timing chain.   I have skipped a bunch of events at the track so that I can enjoy the car for the summer.

Update 7/29/04
Big Changes this year in 2005!

Now she has 63K on the clock and some more HP is being made.  Christmas 2004 and birthday I installed new KVR heavy duty nickel cadmium coated front brake rotors and new KVR carbon fiber pads.  (The old ones were only 1/2 done but the rotors were warped.  I saved the old as a spare set of pads)  I installed Pace Setter long tube ceramic coated headers and a Texas Speed catted Y-pipe to the front of the engine.  I also installed a TSP 224/224R 114LSA cam with TSP hardened pushrods and LS6 ported oil pump.  Now it just needs to be dyno tuned by East Coast Supercharging!!!
