1991 Formula Firebird WS6 0-60 0-100 Acceleration & Walkaround

Just a brief video of my new Firebird.
Has a brief walkaround and a little 0-100 pull at near WOT with a very babied launch (tranny is still being broken in so I'm being easy on it)

350 TPI with 57,000 miles on it pulled out of a 92 firebird (245 crank ponies stock)
Has a intake/chip/mild cam/exhaust/global west subframe connectors backed by the WS6 suspension. Tranny has a B&M Shift Kit.

Body of the car has 120,000 on it - odometer reads different because the current gauge cluster which is a 140mph cluster was swapped in for the old 120mph one.

I'm basically enjoying driving it for a few months before I put it into winter storage and begin working to restore/fix the worst parts of the car - basically being the floorpans and the interior. Have seat covers for the seats now but am going to pull the leather seats out of a 4th gen fbody to replace the current ones.

Needs a few other minor things - going to fix some rust as well.

Overall, I bought it for $2700 - I can't complain!

nice car man i was wondering is that a b&m shift improver kit? b/c im looking into getting a shift kit for a truck im building.

[Bbdrew]

@CARGUY514 yeah it was a B&M Shiftkit, it came with the car as the original trans that was in the car blew 5 miles after I bought it. The guy who sold it to me was super nice and installed one he had in it for only an extra $100 that had the shiftkit in it, had it for 18000 miles beating on it nonstop before I sold it.

Was definitely a great setup

[RicerEater1978]

@Bbdrew stock?

[Bbdrew]

@RicerEater1978 pretty much. had flowmaster muffler, hypertech chip(junk), K&N filter. The rest was just suspension, Global West Subframe connectors, 9 bolt rear, kyb struts, 4 wheel discs.

Ran 14.5@98mph, cant expect much more from a worn out smokey 350 tuned port.

[RicerEater1978]

@Bbdrew how much was the chip and where did you get it from. im going to pick up an 87 with a 5.7 tpi. 14.5 would be PERFECT

[Bbdrew]

@RicerEater1978 chip was in it when I got it, it honestly doesnt do much. The best bet is to buy a custom burnt one, as the name brand production ones aren't allowed to be aggressive enough to do any good, not to mention its usually more expensive. Check thirdgen(dot)org for people who could burn you a custom chip and more info. The TPI setup is pretty limiting but you can get into high 13's relatively easily, after that it gets pretty hard to do much more.

Pretty good

[RicerEater1978]

@Bbdrew hmm, interesting. im kinda new to injection systems. i know how they work, but all of my experience is in carburetion. i think ive found a pretty promising chip. seems like this is going to be a fun car

I so miss my L98 91 GTA I used to have, love my LS1 though.
