I finally broke down and went with an SLP lid. I would have done it earlier, but when I did the Dyno pulls I was way lean (almost 16 AFR) so I held off untill I upsized the injectors to 28#s and installed the racetronix pump and hot wire kit. Almost ready for a dyno tune now. Here's the lid that I pimped out, and some pics of the car in race trim.

the Firebird thing is kinda an inside joke with the guys I race with, While I list the car as a WS6 Trans Am, they all insist at calling it a firebird! Since I'm beating most of them now, I wanted to rub it in a little! I'm thinking of getting a "PONTIAC" sticker for the windshield, Thoughts?

A windshield would look good. Does a STB not help with autocrossing it?

The lid looks good I think the lower part needs to be painted to match.

STB = Strut tower brace? For my class, it's illeagal at the moment, but they just allowed SFC's so who knows? I can pick the inside front tire up on a good turn, so I think she's got good grip and not too much flex.
Any of you slackers coming to cars and coffee on Sat? I know it's pinks weekend, just asking.
On another note, do any of you guys do your own tuning? Joey? I'm at the point now that I need to flash the computer. All mods are done.
And Joe, I havn't driven it yet to know if it's any better. Plan on taking her to wacky Wed at Langly tomorrow to see how she runs. Could use some f-body support in the stands! only $5, plus it's BYOB! Tripp won $150 in the burn out contest two weeks ago on some old tires.

Depending on the sticker you can easily get 20RWHP!!!!!
Not going to make it to the cars and coffe this saturday cause helping people move out of houses.
Also for tuning I would recommend you go to ED at VA Speed. I have know how to use HPtuners for the 3.8L v6 but havent touched it at all for the V8s.
