Welcome from SoCal, I'd keep an eye out on your tranny if you want big power like your transam... Look into procharger, or a turbo set up

sounds good to me, i have my eye on a turbonetics tc70, and a built 4l80e i will be fabing up the system myself. im active duty military so i will be registering out of state where emissions dont apply. i do performance installs on the side if you guys ever need any work done.
