Hey, all new to the forum.

I thought I would share a detailed introduction to my Trans Am.

This is my 3rd 4th Gen F-body.

I had a '96 Z28 when I was a teenager for a while until it was struck by a drunk driver and totaled.

In my early 20s, I had a '99 Trans Am M6.

I did some boltons too, and then 13 years later I found myself wanting to get back into another one.

I ended up finding a '95 Trans Am locally, which was in excellent condition so I couldn't pass it up.

Purchased Jan 1st of 2025 - Pontiac Trans Am 6spd - Was bone stock aside from C6 Corvette wheels, K&N Intake, and Corsa Catback.

Decided I wanted to drop out the engine, go through all the gaskets, and while in there, do some upgrades.

Engine Mods:
Lloyd Elliot LE2 Heads - Comp Roller Rockers, ARP 7/16 Studs, Guide Plates, Tick push rods, LS7 Lifters
Lloyd Elliot spec'd Camshaft - 230/238.584/.584 108 LSA
Ported Intake Manifold

Exhaust:
Speed Engineering Longtubes / Offroad Y into a Corsa Catback

Steering / Suspension & Wheels/Tires:
Midwest Chassis Tubular K-member with Solid engine mounts
Tubular A-Arms with Clevis Mount
Viking Adjustable Coilovers
LS1 Steering Rack and Intermediate Shaft
Cosmis Xt005r 18" Wheels with Kenda KR20 Tires

Drivetrain:
T56 - Did the reverse syncro update with bronze forkpads
MGW STS
Solid Trans Mount
Ram Clutch
Tick Adjustable MC

Tuning & Fuel Delivery
Racetronix 255 pump and hotwire harness
60lb SD Injectors
Innovate LC2 Wideband
Flash Hack and EEHack with ADL Cable for tuning

The day I brought it home.

The next step was tearing the engine down and lots of cleaning.
