@ztunelover no, injected in2 the throtle body is a tbi..tpi has 8 injectors shootin fuel directly in2 each "port" sum models have 9 injectors..1 4each cylinder n 1 extra 4cold morning starts n shit
damnn mann i always wanted one of these..i almost bought a formuala back in winter of 2000..then it got it by a snow plow....even the camaro's ..these cars have that desgin that absoulty look flawless..fast while sitting still...just the complete package even if they werent the fastest..they were the best looking...
Woe nice car, i have something similar, You even have less original miles than me im at 12,470. Love the flowmaster. Beauty you got there. My car is mostly stock though. Which flowmaster series is that? 80?
Nice car! I'm in the process of helping my GF's dad with his 87' 5.0L Trans Am. His wife fucked it up sometime ago and really let it go. The old pictures he showed me looked EXACTLY like this.
@rooter1950 I had the exact same car. I bought it new in 1989 and loved it. Mine had tan interior. Your car looks great. It brings back lots of memories.
heyy i just bought ah 1989 v8 firebird and im looking for some new taillights the one i got are messed upp would u know ah website tht sells some? id really appreciate it thanks
@jordanroxxs1 classic industries is the only site i know of. even ebay has none, or a junk yard might have some i tryed to find some and ended up buying a car just for the tail lights
@NuLEVEL19ELITE its possible,I did alot of searching till i found a 88 gta for 1,5oo dollars on craigslist,the guy sold it cuz he had a family and didnt have time for it.
I have always liked this body style of Firebird and Camaro. I like the engines in the newer ones better. Having the LS1 in this car would be the best of both worlds.
Im in sanbernardino California. Im looking for a 87 to 89 Firebird. There are a couple of firebirds for sale but all I could find are with the 2.8 engine. The cars look freakin cool but I want a 5.0 or 5.7. I had a 89 2.8 V6. I wish I still had it. Whoever has a Firebird 5.7L let me know please...
oh ya.with that price range it willbe easy. minewas only 3500 but it isnt in awesome condition. you could find one pretty much perfect for probaly less than10. kelly blue book only rates a 89 in great condition at 3200 but ur never gana find some thats gana sell a nice car that cheap. heck with that budget i would search for the 20th ann turbo TA those are sick
I think the Formula model may have had a few 350s thrown out there but even then the ground kit on this car doesn't say formula either so.... ?? Thinkin it's just a decal kit basically. I have an 89 GTA and I KNOW it has a 5.7 but it's currently awaiting a swap out for a 327 Stealth Ram set up. Can still pull out plenty horses with a 327. =) Plus they sound awesome!
My money says that's an 89 Trans Am, 305 TPI. Several ornament add on's, non-stock decals, mesh wheels... give it away. I don't know of a 5.7 in an 89 Pontiac original, other than a GTA. Nice car though, no doubt...I own an 87 GTA.
very nice man I got an 86 with a bored 350 and a custom exhaust (mostly because I had no money to buy full exhaust kit and just used some good pipes I had lying around and cheapo mufflers). These are nice rides.
hey great trans am!!! I have the same one only I put a firebird steering wheel in and the firebird rims instead of those. But what I thought was coolest is we live in the same state lol "I saw 'kansas' LP". Im quickly falling inlove with the firebird power!!! My brother inlaws '87 formula got me started
yeah that are the same car thats cool. My first car was a 85 firebird but it cought fire so i went and got the 89 and tell you what i love that car is so much fun
ya i need to fix mine to. you cant really see it in the vid but the paint is chipping off since the wing is made of rubber (for some stupid reason) and it has a rust spot were it bolts to the trunk
i havea 1989 gta that i rebuilt it has a procharged 383 stroked pushin 600 rwhp on 20" rims with custom painted red insterts

Quick question so when they say tpi do they mean fuel is injected at the throttle body? Or it it also at the ports like a efi system in say a ls1?
