Was at the GM car show yesterday, and met a few members. The show was a riot, there must have been gazillions of $$ worth of rides there. I had my TA there as usual.
Body and exterior looks stock, and being a die hard hot rodder and tech lover, I went crazy on all other aspects of my car. Some detail here:
Original Owner, 1 of 384 SE TA's w/o T-Tops - they leak and cause body flex
Car stored 25 years outside in friends yards then dragged home and "restored"
Painted and re-striped in my garage
400 ci with race ported Ram Air Heads, 455 SD rods, forged pistons, norris rollers, big HO Enterprises CAM, Herb Adams Deep Sump Oil Pan
4 remote oil filters with oil cooler, demon 820 carb, single plane manifold, Big Shot nitrous, nitrous purge out back of scoop
Braced Sub Frame, BW Super T-10 4speed trans & Hurst Shifter
DIgital Ignition - HEI distributer gutted to trigger a MSD Timing Computer into a MSD6A Digital Multispark into a Jacobs nitrous controller
Dual fuel systems, 1/2 feed, 5/8" return with Magna Fuel 220 GPH fuel pump, dual fuel cells in trunk
HO Tri-Y headers, full 3" Pypes exhaust with crossover and electronic dumps
Tubular Control arms, QA billet coil over dual adjustable shocks, Wilwood 6 piston Calipers, X-Drilled & Slotted rotors, Herb adams heim link sway bar
4:11 gears, braced axle housing and forged axles
And on and on.
No idea of the HP or Torque or 1/4 mi time, but I know at 7000 rpm it is at the hairy edge of grenading parts if I add any more HP to it.
