Hello,
I have been an inactive member here for a while, since I have been finishing my 95 TA before jumping too far into my 69 Camaro. I have just been researching and keeping up on a lot of these builds (there are some VERY nice ones!).
I really don't know what to call what I have done to my 95 TA, I would categorize it as Pro-Toured (but I'm not sure if that title is reserved for older muscle cars)? Any how I think it might interest some folks...
I am a 28 year old Mechanical Engineer working for the Navy in Bremerton, WA. My father is a Hot Rod builder/Body-Man that has been doing that for 30+ years in Montana(so I get a pretty good deal on body work :smoke: ). This is the first car that I actually bought myself, I have owned it for about 7-8 years. It was originally a bolt-on car then it snowballed as my knowledge and skills progressed to what you see here.
It still has a little body work to finish on the headlights and nose, but it is close to done.
Parts List...
-95 Pontiac TA
-385 ci LT4 with Lingenfelter ported LT4 heads and intake, Callies Magnum crank, I beam rods, SRP pistons, 60 lb injectors, etc
-EFI Connections LS1 ecu conversion (no more opti spark, Coil per cylinder, and I can tune the engine with HPtuners)
-1 3/4 to 1 7/8 stepped SS headers
-Dual 3" merge pipe into a single 4" pipe then after the rear end splits back to dual 3" and then to dual 5" Magnaflow bullet mufflers and rolled tips (still finishing this)
-LC-1 Wideband O2
-Custom designed high mounted F1A Procharger with custom front mount intercooler (Should make about 650 RWHP)
-Level II Performabuilt 4L60e tranny with a 2200 billet stall converter, B&M stealth pro-ratchet shifter
-PST 3.5" aluminum Drive Shaft
-Moser 9" with auburn posi
-Full BMR tubular chassis/suspension
-Fays 2 Watts link with custom mounts
-AFCO coilovers front and rear with 550lb front and 200lb rear springs
-Mini tubbed rear end
-19x9.5 and 20x11.5 Forgeline ZX3P wheels with Gunmetal centers
-275/30R19 and 345/25R20 Pirelli Pzero's
-14" Wilwood BSL6 front and 14" Wilwood BSL4 rears with integral parking brake
-Fiberglassed Dash and painted Satin Black

-Rear seat deleted and custom subwoofer box taking its place

I know I am missing other stuff but those are the main components of the TA.
