Tim, yep you can see this guy every weekend at Richmond D'way, he has a Red
Firebird, with a 383 fuel injected, and NOS, street car, doesn't even sound
real wicked! He's got a lap top laying in the floor where he programs shift
point and also looks at exhaust temps to see if he's running lean or rich,
then he controls the 40 lbs injectors by laptop to get a perfect mixture.
The laptop also controls the NOS, it has multiple variables before the NOS
kicks in, including TPS sensor, RPMS, and a few more, if all of the criteria
is met, the NOS kicks in. The car has many other engine mods, to many to
list, but he drive it daily, and it looks stock, and sounds close to stock.
It unbelievable to see that thing go 10.9's! All of this on the 7.25" rear!

My bro is scared to push his 99 T/A into the 12's too far because he has
heard of the rears being so weak...
I'm not sure where he got this info... but... if some one is running 10s on
the stock rear... I'll let him know =)
