Oh yah, gotta have the brick. Hard to believe but first night that we brought it home, we got it started. Drove it for a couple of years before I finally had to rebuild the engine(2 cracked pistons and lobes wore on camshaft). Still have more work to do, but don't we all.

Tom - when'd you sell your Trans Am? I didn't even know you did that.

Back in early Aug. to help pay for my wedding. Sucks but I have a few bikes to play around with and each week I put away a little bit for a WS6. Not much but enough that makes me smile when I think about it.

with the T-56 or the 60E?

very rough numbers are
T-56 708rwhp
60E 669rwhp

what are you using 10%?
t56 is around 15
a4 higher.
using raj's calc and 15% mine makes eactly what evi's dyno said

In case anyone is interested, or just plain bored beyond their senses, I added a couple more "Before" shots on Page Two from the first exploratory visit my buddy Bret made to scout out the car. It shows off the cracked passenger door, the quarter panel damage, and the rough condition of the rear bumper cover. It really helps you appreciate just how far the Red Beast has come since it was rescued from the Bay of Pigs! Thanks to Motor City Auto Spa, Brian & MasterWorks, and Joel for their help in bringing it back from the brink!

I did a quick search on tech and 10% and 15% were rough estimates. I did find that Brian Tooley lost 15% through a locked 4l60E on his 454ci motor making 600rwhp so I feel that number isn't too far off.

What's with the off-center small portion car pictures? C'mon man, the best picture of your WHOLE car is with the hood open and it sitting on jackstands? You were taking better pictures when it was stock!

Well, aren't the pictures supposed to resize? It appears they did not.

EDIT: There, I inserted them a different way, so it actually auto-resized them this time.
