Default 98 Turbocharged Formula(408 forged motor and 4l80e) and much more 13k

Year: 1998
Make: Pontiac
Model: Firebird
Price: $13000
Mileage: 131000
Color: NBM(Dark Blue)
Location (State): Hampton, VA
Interior Color: Black
Transmission: Automatic
Drivetrain: Rear Wheel Drive
Engine: 408 forged (8.5 compression)

The car has everything as follows:
Motor is a 408(iron 6L) with forged internals with 8.5 compression, Patriot LQ9 stage 3 heads with all the goodies. About 500miles on motor
Transmission is a 4L80e (with stand alone TCI computer)built by Gearstar(tested on a 1500hp truck) with a yank 3400 stall, also has the hookups for a transbrake.
Full spohn suspension with qa1s all the way around.
Moser 12in with all the goodies and 3.73.
Has a 8 point cage with swing outs
The turbo kit is a highly modified turbo kit. The only thing it has from the original kit is the headers from a ptk kit. Ed . Its T76 with IC. The paint is 3 yrs old and the car has a ram air hood and TA hatch. plus much more. The car was set to go back on dyno do to fuel pressure drop last time. I screwed up and put the 1 intank pump and a inline pump instead of having a dual intank pump. 5k rpms the car made a hair under 600hp. The things it needs is a new window motor, a gear in the light motor, and cats. I also was planning on doing a 99+ upgrade so my speedometer would work. The fuel system is a return style with 75lbs injectors. This is all i can think of please ask if you need more info. I was building the car to make 15lbs and around 750. These numbers are w/o my meth hooked up yet tho. There are line locks and meth installed in the car but not hooked up(not wired) yet. I was going to sell it 6 months ago and talked myself out of it, I even had a buyer too. Just didnt pull the trigger. My wife has now said it is time so I have agreed. I just dont get to drive it anymore since having children.






These are under hood pics from months ago. Its much cleaner now but arrangement is pretty much the same. Just cleaner.

Im looking for 13k. My number is 703-853-4282 Chris for any questions.
Will post a video of it running and with newer pics.

Car looks great! But 13k for a car with no stereo, slow windows and other things seems like a lot

13k is a damn good deal, window motors/regulators are a known common issue on GM's, and who cares about a stereo, it'd be hard to hear it anyways always being in boost!! GLWS man, Great price for what looks to be a very fun car!
