1989 Firebird Formula 350 fresh custom L98, GMMG exhaust and more.

[SOUTHERNANDPROUD1861]

It makes me so mad thay killed off pontiac.The trans am and firebirds allways had more class than most of what gm was makeing.I have a 89 formula 350 its black with black gta wheels and im swaping a 6.0 from a truck in it.Beats mustangs any day.Nice vid keep pontiac alive.

[RetroFan1992]

Where did you get that spoiler??

[mitzo600r]

sounds and looks beastly! what kind of rims do you have on it?

[Justinfloogie]

@mitzo600r Ronal R15 rims. They're a popular German rim but were sized specifically for the 1992 Firehawk. Since 1992 another run of about 200 sets were made. I'd guess theres less than 300 sets in existence. Commonly referred to as "Firehawk Wheels".

[derrdon]

@Justinfloogie I think Classic Industries is making them now.Totally screwing up the uniqueness of having a set of these wheels.I have some on my Camaro.In my opinion these wheels are perfect on a third gen Camaro or Firebird.Guess the resale value will decrease now as well.

[PontiacCrusader]

little help, lookin at a 89 ff350 and its got 135k on body and tranny but a 2000 mi tpi 350 no rust to speak of but it has a ding where the right blinker is about the size of a Cd jewel case. He wants 5500.. im think about 3800-4000. what yall think

[Justinfloogie]

@PontiacCrusader I say $3000 but im cheap

[brandondudeee]

hey man, just wanted to say i envy your car, it sounds perfect in my opinion, enjoy it.

[Justinfloogie]

@brandondudeee thanks!

[millerr8517]

This sounds NICE!!!!!

[Justinfloogie]

@millerr8517 thanks!

[HRVAT1975]

Hey nice car, how much were those headers & y-pipe?

[gearheadAbe]

popcorn anyone?

[SpartanD36]

how do you like your gears? wish you had other ones or anything?

just wondering becuase i have 2.73 in mine and wanna switch to 4.11 or atleast rear end with more low and and acceleration i dont need top speed or MPG 

[Justinfloogie]

@SpartanD36 love 'em! They work great with my 6 speed. I have a Dana 44 that I'm going to install soon. It has 3.92s so it may be a tad more streetable.

[Justinfloogie]

@SpartanD36 scratch that. I blew the dana up because I forgot to put in any damn gear oil!!! I ordered new 4.11 gears and everything is right in the world again lol

[MorfordMcFat]

Dude!!! What rims are those!!! I've been looking for ones just like that for my formula but I don't know the names of them!!!

[Justinfloogie]

@MorfordMcFat they are Ronal R15 wheels. Also called Firehawk wheels by the 3rdgen community. They're pretty hard to find since they only made a few hundred sets

[thebigcat6]

Love the sound man! I've got an 87 trans am gta 305 and this is the exact sound I want for it. I'm definitely gonna look in to the stuff you put into it and put em in my car so it sounds just as beastly. Beautiful car man.

[trp350]

love the car bro, im getting one soon :)

[OldboySaint]

Love the car man, but in the future cover up your license plate because anyone can find out where you live and other information by putting your number in the Virginia DMV website.

[3dvorator]

Justinfloogie your car is beautifull,i'm a C4 guy and when i see how much money you'r putting on your car,i'm asking to myself: why don't you?but bro looking at this car i've to say it worth all the money you spend :))

[Justinfloogie]

@3dvorator I really appreciate the comment. I wonder some times what else I could have done with the time and money but all it takes is driving the car down the road to not wonder anymore. It truly is a blast to drive :)

[PowerInMN]

Those were my favorite tail light styles of the 3rd gen.

[DeltaElite121]

Wheels look good, and those tail lights are RARE. Nice looking third gen, I'll make sure to post a video when my Camaro is up and running again in the next week or so.

[jjerber]

Sounds awesome, I had an 89 years ago the factory foam spoiler went to hell, a bracket rusted right thru it, common problem. I pit the 91 92 fiberglass ta, formula wing on it. Real slender piece looked Tite.

[DerekLicon]

this one is one of my personal favorites, and I hope to get my '88 like this. I have the Ls1 for it already. I have so much respect for your patience with the car

[Artyfil]

what kind of gas are you running with that compression ratio?

[1987TransAmws6]

i have the same hood lol looks great. and the motor sounds great whats your 1/4 mile times? also what did that build cost you if you dont mind me asking.

[Justinfloogie]

@1987TransAmws6 I cant even begin to guess how much money I have into this pig. Since this video I've done a complete "down to the metal" paint job with all new glass, new interior etc....it just goes on and on. Nuts!

[1987TransAmws6]

@Justinfloogie sweet mine just got repainted to now i need interior and rims. then maybe i can finally get a L98 in her and put some good numbers down.

[81TransAmJunkie]

@Justinfloogie post another video

[wombat458]

nice pontiac!

[81TransAmJunkie]

Dude the hoods cool. It looks like a 93-97 Ram Air hood. It looks real good on there.

[MorfordMcFat]

Hey what rims are those and what kinda suspension you got? I want mine to have the same stance

[afghan07]

great work!

[copsinmyhouse]

nice cam, wich one is it?

[oftennoother]

I love those rims. So I take it since there not made any more they'll be hard to get. I''l research it. Nice car man.

[knytrydr73]

I notice you have the 91-92 T/A tail lamps. Looks good that way.

[Hectorson3]

That sounds evil.

[MrRobGT]

Cool car, I like the original formula hoods better, but let me guess, it wouldnt fit with the mini ram??

[idriveav8]

was this b4 or after the obdii swap

[kstudios]

awesome sound and even better tax-plate ;-)

[Justinfloogie]

Thanks for the comment :)

[Artyfil]

The 91-92 Trans Am/GTA taillights look AWESOME on that 89 formy. Very nice car. Hopefully I'll be able to soup up my 91 T/A 'vert soon. :D

[PS2000productions]

So powerful, that it makes the camera shake on the spoiler !

[Ls7colorado]

were did u get your spoiler? I actually have one just like I found that someone had and have never seen one like it till i saw yours.

.. and your car sounds awsome!

[Justinfloogie]

The spoiler came on the car when I bought it. I wasn't sure what it was but it appears that it is a Wings West made spoiler. Its fiberglass and looks real good. I'm actually taking it off and repacing it with a factory style spoiler since my car is getting painted now :)

[SShorsepower]

are those real firehawk rims or the ones ronal sold after?

[Justinfloogie]

They are the repops done by Ronal who has since stopped making these rims, and even closed their US facilities :(

[SShorsepower]

that fucking sucks, i was looking for a black set for my 88 GTA!

[APontiacof455cubes]

u mustve installed a t5 after the fact because i thought all L98's had 700R4s behind them

[Justinfloogie]

better yet, I installed a T-56! Its a 6 speed. My motor would destroy a T5 in a heartbeat.

[APontiacof455cubes]

nice.  i dont get how the 56 is so much stronger than a 5.

[camaro88iroc]

2 more questions, in your opinion is the miniram worth the money? and how much hp did it add over the stock intake?(ur guess)

[Justinfloogie]

I bought mine new and I think its worth the money. I'm guessing I gained 15-20hp, but lost a little low end torque. The ability to be able to rev the car to 6k rpms and higher with ease is definitely worth it. I was amazed at the difference over the stock tpi.

[camaro88iroc]

for the TPIS Miniram, did you have to do any tuning or swap out wiring harness? or was it just a straight install?

[Justinfloogie]

You will need tuning to get optimum performance

[jon20683]

sick car man i have the same hood but mines a 305 formula same year too

can i ask wre you got that spoiler?

[Justinfloogie]

Dyno numbers posted in the video description!

[johnknight1981]

Dyno Don headers? I have only heard this term on Thirdgen(dot)org is a persons personal work or an actual company?

[Justinfloogie]

as far as I know its an individual. The quality of his parts is VERY impressive.

[nick317ryan]

I have a friend that I've shown your vids to, he drools!

[justav6]

[CombatSCUBA]
