DEATH OF A TRANS AM WS6!!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- After a year of beating on the stock block after all the mods, and approaching 98k miles, the LS1 block finally started having excessing blow-by in the cylinders and also blowing oil into the upper crankcase housing. It ran strong, producing idle launch 1/4 times of 12.4 @ 118MPH. But....IT'S TIME TO GO BIG!! Updates on the way...
Car has LS1 motor, cam, Dart Pro 1 stage 3 heads, headers, Borla exhaust, cutout, LS6 intake, lid, K&N, tune, ASP pulley, Hurst shifter, shift light, Nitto Drag Radials, DragLite wheels, Moser 4.10 gears and more.
Motor work was done at East Texas Muscle Cars. Airbrushing by Allen Jonez - lid design is from the Disturbed Ten Thousand Fists album.

I just wish GM could have kept Pontiac above ground, brought back the TA and never messed with the camaro. Still one of the sexiest cars to ever exist
Lucas Ruwe I think they had to die so corvette could live they were about to dethrone corvette
Z28 formula ss ws6 All bad ass these cars were going to eat the corvette aliveg
Had they not stopped and mustangs fell way off
@@kennethdefreitas6845 Formulas, Firehawks and WS6s over the years have proven to be just as fast if not faster than the Corvette and I strongly feel that's why GM dropped Pontiac due to the Firebird Trans Am rising above Chevrolet's flagship car..
Appreciate it my friend! Glad ya enjoy the vids. Just trying to keep it interesting :)
@AmericanThunder Cool man! Thanks for checkin it out :)
i hope to see this thing back again. i love this car. its what pulled me to your page in the first place
That lovely, love the fourth gen birds.
@G34rslo53r Gotta row those gears mane!! Only replaced the clutch once....and it was the stock clutch, so time for it to go anyways ;)
@K0E0M0O Thanks bro!! We're in the midst of a massive new build on the Trans Am, so stay tuned for more. It otta be BEAST x 10!! :)
@love2huntwithbows The car is together and there are already a few teaser clips and walkaround vids on the channel. Check em out! :)
I for one miss TA's.
@imstalon Thanks man!!! Tryin to get there PRONTO! Hopefully vid updates soon...
you guys ever gonna bring this thing back? loved the car.
Yeah my Trans/Am thought he was going to retire but me and a friend of mine put in the brand new LS1 long block that had been sitting around for years. And for the record we removed the engine from the top and didn't even have to discharge the A/C. Used the special engine plate from Jegs with the six point slots. Best $60.00 bucks ever. Did not have to take the stock manifolds off or the coil packs..Water pump can stay on as well. You do have to remove and re-install the air conditioner bracket. I dreaded the whole ordeal for years but it was actually fairly easy.
Good eye! You are exactly correct
Damn I love that car, my ls1 has over 194,000 miles and still running strong. Gm motors last forever!
Inspiring. Just spun a rod bearing on my LS1, going 370 LQ9.
@NJFordPops08005 Thanks man! She'll be runnin again soon :)
That's awesome man!!! I don't blame ya for wanting to snag one when ya find a good deal....that's what I did. Keep me posted with updates :)
i love your videos the camera angle is the best ive seen on youtube not jsut inside the car or way down the road
ready to see this car back in action
@BLACKLACDTS Pretty close man....but goin with forged/stroked LS1 block, out to 383....
@jonathan89424 Yeah, for sure bro! Just Google "East Texas Muscle Cars" and holler at Stephen...he can set ya up. More than likely though, he'll recommend an A&A kit or Vortech blower. Procharger quality has been going downhill...
@purefhate Ahh dang, that really sucks! Mine is in the shop right now. Can't wait till the build is done! :D
Nice.........Glad to see you made plans for the resurrection.........
@SVTMODDED Appreciate it bro! :)
@05front Yeah man, ya really should pick one up!
@sTrE3trDr Thanks man...appreciate that :)
@wwjoshdew Slight oversight when I sent this one to production at 2AM last night. ;)
Triple-X still got better gear than WW. ;)

Car did well with that kind of beating for a couple years....looking forward to whats next. Almost sad it had to croak racing a pickup...haha..

mmm thats too bad damage a car but with the new updates that thing will fly good luck i hope to see t/s on the road again
@DaBause I think you might be right ;)
Amazing video can't wait to see some more when the car is done good luck
good shyt! saw the g6 video and wondered what happened to the TA... was about to start modding mine but the 4L60E is slipping something ugly... gonna handle that then get things poppin w the mods...
@darkwatch196 Hopefully it'll get there man! Post it up and share it with a couple people....maybe it'll get there :)
Nothing super recent. Lotta complications on the rebuild, but trust me, it's gonna be nasty once complete...
Love the WS6 man but I am dumb founded by your wife's stingray is just flat out sexy as hell. Your a lucky man my friend. I bet you work your ads off for your toys. Would love to see them in person someday at a car show. Do you ever do car shows in California?
@XxSwEeTbItChXx1 Thanks man!
badass vid man. I really like this one gotta make more street racing vids.
man that chev pick up seemed to go well
I will be man...don't worry. Lotta scores to settle with this project ;)
Was that a bored & Sleeved 427ci based LS1 at the end?
bad ass video... probably the best i seen in youtube about trans am >>>
Nice ride!! I have a 2002 Trans Am firehawk and I was able to make it run 12.2 @ 120 one summer day... But sometimes when I drive the car it doesn't feel like a 12 second car... Hell when I did a dyno test it read 417 RWHP but I still don't feel it... I don't know man did you ever have that problem with this WS6?
Do you have any new videos of this car man?
How do you like uour 4:10s. Ive got a 96 z28 with a six speed I'm about to regear I'm kickin around 4:10 4:56 but i think 4:56 might be too deep
@HUArmyLife Yeah....he ain't tellin....and I guess I kinda can't either :-/
LS7 next? that would be BIG!
Really nice sounding TA
@ahoyt653 He'll never tell, so neither will I. ;)
@crackerisntme He wanted the roll...

Shocked that you only ran a 12.4? High elevation maybe?
Hated the Camaro and Corvette, little penis cars. But the TransAm, my.....that is a real car.
Woah it that a custom intake lid or production!?! :0

I bet u live off my tax money
sorry no I don't. my jobs pays for your family to get drunk and have more kids
I own a 98 Firebird Formula LS1 6spd,love the old girl.It can still run with just about anything on the road even tho it still stock.Factory freak LS1
@purefhate Ahh dang, that really sucks! Mine is in the shop right now. Can't wait till the build is done! :D
I'm not surprised it blew, was blowing smoke on every run. Who tuned it or didn't?
@BLACKLACDTS Haha....yeah man, I wish it worked that way. I imagine it'll be late Fall at best....and maybe next year, the way my vehicle luck has been goin lately. :-/
