Another TBI fixed!

Just got my 88 Firebird running. Took a year to finally have time to work on it. Was cheap and easy ($300 for car/$75 to fix). I just don't know what I should get for performance after I replace everything it needs. Should I get a new intake and 2" bore TB or compliment the 2.5" cat-back exhaust with headers?

It already runs strong, much much quicker than my 2.8 (duh, haha). Quicker than my dad's 99 Grand Prix. Only work I know done to it, is new shocks, cat back exhaust, and motor swap.

Here is a video:

Definitely. It got all green and yellow from moss, algae-like substance, and pollen thanks to the Pacific Northwest weather!

I should be going to a car show in May, as a work-in-progress car. But don't know if it will be ok for a long trip yet.

Well today turned out to be REALLY nice out. So I took the opportunity to wash the Firebird and Camaro. Here's a pic of the Firebird! All clean and topless!
