    im 17!! how many times do i have to write this, im learning about the cars, and the 283 is my dads frokm when he was a kid. it was stored at my relatives that we found a while back. I bought the trans am less than a month ago and with a different engine in it, its hard to determine the specs, and notice that i have a 72 cutlass and i didnt ask any questions about it, its called time, but im sure you knew absolutely everything about your car when you bought it. the stock specs arent the problem. if this makes me a hill billy because i have more toys then you, then yes i am a hillbilly. Id like to know what you have that makes your stuff so special.

    It sounds like a cool name for an engine

    I suggest you pep the bitch up. Lighten the flywheel, maybe add a large scroll turbo, titanium valve springs?

    Meh. Iunno.
