1998 TransAm WS6 Build-Up Fully Bolted Racing Dyno Burnout

[TeenIronMan]

now its time to build the block

[rekjavicxxx]

@TeenIronMan Already got that taken care of my friend ;)

Did 383 forged/stroked. Hopefully have it terrorizing the streets again in a month or so...

[dhperformance]

where did you get your airlid?? I know its probably custom painted but i want one i want to know if i could get one too !

[rekjavicxxx]

@dhperformance Yup, it's custom airbrushed. PM me if ya want info on the fella that can do that for ya...

[67ShelbyMustang500]

that a lot of work and money for only a 100 more horses man. It sounds nasty as hell but thats about it. I love these trans ams but if you was gonna put in the time you might as well have spent more money while doing it.

[rekjavicxxx]

@67ShelbyMustang500 Just dropped $14k on the latest build. The tables have now turned. It's all different now ;)

[67ShelbyMustang500]

@rekjavicxxx alright can't wait to see the vid send me the link to it man

[rekjavicxxx]

@67ShelbyMustang500 It's not quite finished, but search the following vid for a quick walkaround...

TRANS AM RESURRECTION COMPLETE! WALKAROUND TEASER!

[jasonisthehustler]

dude bigger engine, bore the heads + cylinders, Forged pistons cams valves and springs, ceramic piston coat, and a greddy crank, out put 900+ easy naturally aspirated, then depending on engine get high rpm crank and put in a 125mm turbo, = 1300 hp internals will handle that boost so you all good then at the launch when you gun first and pop out the clutch during the 3-4 seconds your car will be wheeling and your looking straight up at the sky..... pray

[PABLOCLLGPRK]

awesome video,awesome work man congrats.

[rekjavicxxx]

@PABLOCLLGPRK Thanks bro, appreciate it, but already blown this build out and gone way bigger! Look for that build-up vid on the way :)

[PABLOCLLGPRK]

@rekjavicxxx i will man, just keep "the guy"under the hood,looks bad ass.

[rekjavicxxx]

@PABLOCLLGPRK First stage of the build, he stays. Next stage will involve plumbing in all the pipe for the supercharger, so the Disturbed face is this going to be airbrushed into the air scoop

[drewglis]

You weren't kidding about the oversized valves. Good God!

[rekjavicxxx]

@drewglis Haha...

[xXxsHoGuNsKyLeRxXx]

get better rims and it will be way better

[rekjavicxxx]

@xXxsHoGuNsKyLeRxXx Already handled. Got all that done on the current build. Check out today's upload ;)

[7upbottlesdown]

not much room to work with lol and no cam bud?

[rekjavicxxx]

@7upbottlesdown It already had a cam...

[7upbottlesdown]

@rekjavicxxx oh got ya and do you make stickers or decals or something cuz id love to sponcor my truck with some of your stuff

[rekjavicxxx]

@7upbottlesdown Sure do man! Go to our website at triplexmotorsports (dot) com

[7upbottlesdown]

@rekjavicxxx heck yeah! ima buy a little bit of stuff at a tim e then once i get all i want ima put it on there

thanks bro!

[richardarichter123]

how do you get the person to shoot the car is one of your friends or how do find the people to film their cars

[rekjavicxxx]

@richardarichter123 Yeah, just plan it out...

[crywolf377]

@rekjavicxxx about how long did it take u to build ur Car up? i got a 99 year modle havent really done much to it. i noticed on the center console ur's didnt have the traction control like mine does. i know when i go to try and do a brake stand it wont let me. Mine is a 6speed. just wondering how u managed to do one in ur video.

[rekjavicxxx]

@crywolf377 That build took a couple of weeks. The current build I'm doing has taken a couple of months so far. Hopefully we'll be done by Christmas.

I don't think that series has a traction control button since it's a standard...

[crywolf377]

@rekjavicxxx on nice. what u building on now? and yea the one i have has a traction control button on it. its up by the stick shift. It says TCS

[Longway2fall]

That is a very nice setup! Those numbers aren't crazy, but that is right around where I would like to be. I bet it is plenty streetable. A+ for the under hood paint, and well done video! Time to get a new rear end! Take care of that good looking machine

[rekjavicxxx]

@Longway2fall Yeah, I'm well into the next build. Full suspension, 12 bolt, forged/stroked block, cam, headers, etc, etc...

[2009locks]

oh yeah sick fb

[rekjavicxxx]

@2009locks Thanks!!!

[2009locks]

@rekjavicxxx i just bought a 02 t/a ws6 and i want to do the same swap the heads change the exhaust i got loudmouth with slp long tube headers love the sound but neighbors dont were did you get the parts from i want to get mine ready for spring

[rekjavicxxx]

@2009locks LOL! Yeah, my neighbors aren't too fond of me either...

[ThePinkPantha]

That fucker breathes fire!

[altamimi300z]

SICK ASS WS6 BAD ASS VIDEO 10 OUTTA 10

[rekjavicxxx]

@altamimi300z Thanks my friend! :)

[TheBloodymikey]

Ill trade my truck for this car after the new build :)

[rekjavicxxx]

@TheBloodymikey Oh yeah?? Whatcha got?

[zadrum15]

What a SICK car!! Can't wait to see it affter its next build, major props man:)

[rekjavicxxx]

@zadrum15 Thanks man! It's slowly but surely comin together :)

[l91camaroz28l]

@rekjavicxxx what was your fastest time with this set up?

[rekjavicxxx]

@l91camaroz28l I think 12.4 @ 118. Had to soft launch it with that 10bolt in there...

[l91camaroz28l]

@rekjavicxxx not 2 bad. my 85 camaro runs low 11's(11.0-11.2) on 510hp off the foot brake until i can get a transbrake valve body installed. so a pretty soft launch as well of the convertor (3500)

[SweetSS24]

Sick car! Good luck on your current build

[rekjavicxxx]

@SweetSS24 Thanks man! It's coming together soon. Gonna be NASTY! More video updates to come...

[JDMasFk1]

im not a big fan of muscle but without a doubt you have the nicest trans am i have ever seen. those little runs gotta kill your pocket thou :( me when i pop vtec oh man feels like some one punch a hole in my gas tank i imagine that bigass engine gotta suck, on the other hand you got torque to hand out.

[rekjavicxxx]

@JDMasFk1 Thanks for the props bro! Yeah, it does use on that 93 octane, but hey, ya gotta pay to play, right?? ;)

[Ratbiker]

do you guys have to do emissions tests in texas?

[rekjavicxxx]

@Ratbiker Certain counties

[22okaba]

EFf that quick ride! I FUCKEN LOVE IT

[boxer92784]

texas plates baby, yes sirrrrr



[RondlesWS6]

any body or have you heard off a 395 stroker kitfor the ls1 i know the 383 but was woundering bout the 395 how it holds out

[rekjavicxxx]

@RondlesWS6 Haven't heard of it....

[dzhk5mg]

your stock clutch can handle all that power? you should get a stage 2 clutch too

[rekjavicxxx]

@dzhk5mg Haha....it didn't for long. See the Clutch FAIL video I did shortly afterwards. Got a Hendrix Racing clutch. It did really well, but it won't hang on my new build. Just purchased another one rated for 1000+HP

[dzhk5mg]

@rekjavicxxx lol i'll have to check that out. so have you ever thought about boring out your motor and throwing in some high comp. pistons? or blowing the motor? you could get 700 or 800 horses easy

[rekjavicxxx]

@dzhk5mg In the process of all that right now! Forged/stroked 383, built trans, clutch, cam swap, 12 bolt, centrif blower, suspension, etc....

[dzhk5mg]

@rekjavicxxx saw your clutch fail video lol do you got a video of this new setup? it sounds pretty sick man

[rekjavicxxx]

@dzhk5mg Yeah, you see the build video here. I'm currently in the middle of another vid. Hoping for 750RWHP out of it...

[Pontiac2322]

Can you say boner?

[BaldLocks]

That cover job is so rice. Ricey mcrice rice farmer, that exhaust sounds like absolute shit, all sound no go.

[The1FastGP]

Sexy ass beast

[6Stang99]

Sick ass TA man! Nice work!

[PD5353]

love the disturbed, bad ass

[maddpepe313]

UNDEAD!!!

[C4Interceptor]

WHERE DID YOU GET THOSE CUSTOM ENGINE COVERS THAT SAY "WS6" ON THEM?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!

[rekjavicxxx]

@C4Interceptor Custom airbrushed. Want some done?

[C4Interceptor]

@rekjavicxxx well i should have been more descriptive haha...were those covers taken from the vettes and had the corvette sanded down and refinished? Or are they completely custom? they blow my mind honestly, so beautiful.

[rekjavicxxx]

@C4Interceptor Yeah man, they are just LS1 Corvette covers. I bought them off LS1Tech forum. Sanded down, filled, base, painted, cleared, etc...

[C4Interceptor]

@rekjavicxxx Friggen sweet man. My mom drives a 2000 LS1 ws6 and she has custom black trans am decals on the side that fade from a dark purple to black and I wanted to either make them for her or get them made. Also, how are the mounted? Do they just snap on over a linkage or something?

[rekjavicxxx]

@C4Interceptor They snap down on the fuel rails. Holds them pretty secure

[RichKilla86ers]

3:48 Disturbed fan

[3gEclipse03]

[Sickness796]

if ls1's sounded ass deep and beefy as a lt1 i would probably consider swapping one into my 96 caprice.

[rekjavicxxx]

@Sickness796 Oh yeah! LS1 will PWN a LT powerplant!

[XxBlksnshnxX]

Stock Cam?

[rekjavicxxx]

@XxBlksnshnxX No. The cam was in it when I got the car, so I don't know the lift and duration....

[CAllMeACAMPER]

BEST Vid

[rekjavicxxx]

@CAllMeACAMPER Glad ya liked it man! Hopefully will be doing a few more vids of it soon when the new build takes place...

[DANNYNTRISH]

where did you get your custom covers for the vavle i got a 96' ws-6 trans am and need mods for it where do i find upgrades on the engine help out another ws-6!!!!!!!

[rekjavicxxx]

@DANNYNTRISH There's a local guy that airbrushed everything for me. I just ordered the generic FRC's, did the prep work and he did the rest. Turned out really good IMO :)

Lemme know if you want his contact info....

[bluecamaross]

@rekjavicxxx  Hey Man! Sick car and great vid! Are you on ls1tech??? anyways could you please send me the guys contact info who did the airbrush work for you? I'm bluecamaross on ls1tech if your on there!

[rekjavicxxx]

@bluecamaross Yeah, I actually am on LS1Tech. Same username on there as on here.

I'll PM you his contact info on here....

[702muzik]

this is what i like to call "BEAUTI-MONSTA" ...this car is so fuckn dope man ...im actually got the money to buy my first time WS-6 bro ...but some of my friends are telling me to go with a mustang better ....but since you have one bro ...WHAT DO YOU THINK ? i like both cars ...but i need some feed back ..help me ?

[rekjavicxxx]

@702muzik Well, if ya want something that can do work on the streets, you better go with the Trans Am! Such a fast competitive car, and SOOOO responsive to mods. I can hang with modern muscle pushin 100HP more than me in that car. It's BAAAAAD! I think your friends might just be wantin you to get the Mustang so they have someone to pound on ;)

[LS1Monster320]

love trans am's n your's is made nice i have one n hope to do some crazy stuff to it as well

[TheRealFobican]

1:02 Disturbed! :P

[andyg2809]

thats a nice car man i have a 408 ci ta i put 546 hp to the wheels and 497 lbs of tq one word of addvice is you painted the intake and stuff beautifuly but the rest of the engine bay needs alittle work man

[rekjavicxxx]

@andyg2809 It's a $5k car man. I'm thinkin the engine bay situation is pretty decent, considering ;)

Doin a full forged/stroked, boosted build next month anyway. I'll try and address the "sub-standard engine bay" situation, just for you  ;)

[andyg2809]

should be sick man me and my buddy are putting -28 cc JE dish pistons in next month and running 18 lbs of booste with a v2 SC he has laying around im hopeing the v2 can fill the displacement of the 408 lol if not ill prolly be someware around like 15 or 14 lbs of boost but should still be crazy sick ill poste up a b4 and after vid on here . and your car sounds real good i am running a true duel borla now but i think ima sell it and put true duel bassani with a 2 inch kooks header

[pmslax45]

Not sure if this has been asked, but do you have any track times and trap speeds??

[rekjavicxxx]

@pmslax45 Yeah, got 12.4 @ 118. That's with a soft idle launch. Already popped that 10 bolt rear end twice with hard launches. That's definitely on the upgrade list!

[Bamabrute85]

I expected more HP out of an LS1 car. Beautiful car though.

[rekjavicxxx]

@Bamabrute85 I believe the cam must be small. It was already in the car when I bought it...

[GoGhetta1994]

@Bamabrute85 They can produce a lot more than that. My dads got a 2002 WS6 and its pushing almost 600 horses. You just have to know how to configure everything..

[Bamabrute85]

@GoGhetta1994 Ye I know. Thats why I commented about it. most Heads, Cam LS1's put down around 450 and some as much as 500 rwhp

[yaboipolo]

what cam are you running ?

[rekjavicxxx]

@yaboipolo No clue. That was in the car when I bought it :(

[suzuki4life7]

is that a big block or small block

[eclipse10101]

@suzuki4life7 small block 346 cubic inches, 5.67 liter

[rekjavicxxx]

@suzuki4life7 Just the standard small block LS1 motor that came in these cars...

[ryanbard3]

Fucking BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL Ws6. Ive got a 1996 ws6 and im hoping to put a Ls7 motor in there this year....

[glastron72]

fukin saweeeeeeeeet!!

[rekjavicxxx]

@glastron72 It's just getting better too......Got another build comin up ;)

[eclipse10101]

@rekjavicxxx what are you doing next ? i hope you make a bunch of build videos, im currently building a chevy 350 at my college for my dads 73 corvette were going for around 375 horse, just a street driver , but fun none the less.

[rekjavicxxx]

@eclipse10101 Yup! Videos fo sho!!! Turbo, forged/stroked, 12bolt, tires/wheels, etc...

[igotyou02]

Thats to sick, Nice car man

[rekjavicxxx]

@igotyou02 Thanks!! Glad ya enjoyed it :)

[rekjavicxxx]

@killeas300 Thx man!

[TransAm7935]

love the paint job, little jealous! I WANT ONE. you should paint the hood like that next!

[rekjavicxxx]

@TransAm7935 Thanks man! That's funny you should mention that.....When I go to boost on my upcoming build, the lid has to go away, so the hood scoops will then take on this design. I'm thinkin it's gonna look pretty sick ;)

[iXamXmeXyouXareXyou]

am a camaro guy,, but this bird is sickk man it deserves respect

[rekjavicxxx]

@iXamXmeXyouXareXyou Thanks bro! SS and WS6 are sister vehicles if there ever were such a thing :)

[RBCantrell727]

[rekjavicxxx]

@x03MustangGTx Oh man!! It doesn't get any better than that! Take care of that baby! :)

[SoCalJohnston]

very nice ride. One of the coolest project vids ive seen on youtube. Was the head swap and everything easy install or did you run into any complications?

[rekjavicxxx]

@SoCalJohnston Thanks man! Took a little extra effort to put the build video together, but it was worth it! Had fun doing it all.

Everything went together pretty much as expected. Just had everything together ahead of time and it all came together as planned :)

[SoCalJohnston]

@rekjavicxxx That thing is sick. Id love to get a 98-02 trans am or 99-04 mustang

[a7xSTEVENbfmv]

Beautiful :)

[Blacklord113]

Wow. once again, my favorite car being awesome making me wish i owned it. The only thing i don't like is the wheels, everything else makes it a ride to die for though. Oh ya and Disturbed Rules!

[willymywonka]

@airsoftsargent Just saying this, because I wrecked my first camaro. f body's are easy to get away from you when you're young. Just take things slow, and practice in wide open parking lots. good luck

[airsoftsargent]

@willymywonka Trust me thats what imma be doing lol, thanks though

[zachsdirtbike]

lol i love the disturbed logo lip cover and the intake paintjob
