Incorrect...not all Trans AM's had V8's...yes most of them did...however in 1989 Pontiac dropped in a V6 into a Trans AM...yes I said "V6 in a Trans AM"....but not just any V6...it was a turbo V6....a Buick turbo V6...same ones used a few years earlier in the GNX, Grand National and the T type...and in '89 a turbo Trans AM could outperform any V8 F body, or any V8 Fox body and could even outperm *GASP* a Corvette.

@meangreen69Nova yeah,i had to think more about it,i had only known them to have the turbo motor in like 80 or 81, but then i had remembered the one my dad had which was a 89 T/A with the turbo v6,sorry for the doubt man,i guess i should think more before i comment haha

@TylerTBlood I see you tried calling me out saying "if it has a V6 in it,its not called a transAm its called a firebird :) before you correct people make sure all your facts are correct". Then you retracted your statement when you realized I was right all along. 1989 Indy pace car was not a Firebird, it was a Trans AM, based on the GTA, and it came factory with the Buick turbo V6 out of the Grand National. Anyone who doesn't believe me go google "1989 Trans AM pace car".

@meangreen69Nova to be 100%,they had a turbo v6 transAm,it was in the early 80's(80 or 81 i believe), it was the the buick motor but was detuned and a slug because the car was so heavy

@CollingdalePerform It sure looks like 650hp to me. I've seen a lot of these motors on dynos, and you are def winding it to the point of making that kind of power. Excellent work making it at 20psi especially on a mustang dyno. Wonder what it'd feel like @ 30psi?

I thought they had problems fitting the heads in an Fbody. That's why the 89 TTA had a special kind of heads.
