1984 Trans Am, The DYNO Run.

Ok it went on the DYNO today just for a little look to see what power the T.A was putting out, I never expected mutch of the stock 23 y/o 112,400Mile 305 but it made a steady 110.8KW @ about 4,800RPM (148.6.RWHP) witch aint too bad for a engine that was rated 190-FWHP from the factory.

Here is the DYNO sheets:

KW:

Torque:

Thats 315nm.


The run was upto 5,000RPM.


But the other thing was that he said it has very clean exhaust readings from Idle to WOT, I mean good enough to pass an emissions test and the only eco gear the car has is the 1 y/o high flow cat.

1984 Trans Am, The Last Week.

Ok since this is the last week I will have the Trans-Am on the road I have put the Q-jet back on to get some power back and im getting it on a dyno this Thursday at 4:30pm to see what numbers it is putting out before it gets torn down, It is only going to cost me $55 for a basic run.

Im not expecting mutch out of it since it is a 190hp engine from the factory and it still has OEM headers, Heads, Intake and Cam (asfar as I know).

Well will update this thursday night, Hope it all goes well!

1984 Trans Am, Its Time.

Its finaly time to take the car off the road on sunday July 9, Its going to my Dads place since i have nowere else to store it while im working on it.

I will be taking it down there on sunday and setting up a "workshop" (lol) basicly a fue tarps and metal framing to make like a big tent to keep my car out of the weather when being striped.
I will be there every second week end and will be posting pictures up of everything I do to the car, This was ment to happen about 6 months ago but I have had too mutch fun driving my car to take it off the road :)

Plans for the next 2 months:
Engine out, Trans out, wiring out, interior out and then I will be cleaning the interior and sanding the flore of the car to remove the surface rust from the bad leak and giving it a real thick coat of killrust to prevent it from coming back then i will be fixing the minor rust I have found over the last 2 months (under the windscreen and spare tyre well).

I will keep this sight updated as I go, Cyaz for now.
