I have a 1982 Pontiac Trans Am. Im not sure wat it runs since i havnt brought it to the track. Im pretty sure its in the 16-18 sec range, pretty slow but a nice lookin car none the less. I dont have pics right know but im gonna take some soon. Its red and black with a carburated 305. I was wonderin if anyone can tell me if the carburated ones are some of the first or was the fuel injection an option? n e way thanx 426ci  |

Welcome to the forum. Sounds nice, post the pics when you get them. The Fuel Injection was an option, or it could have been FI, then somebody just took it off and put a carb on.

If I remember right, FI came out in '84, could have been '83 but not '82.

In 1983 they came out with the crossfire fuel injection. In 82 they had the single throttle body injector system. I dont think n e thing on the engine has been changed. The person i bought it from bought it form the dealership and said he made no modification. Ofcoures if he did or not i cant tell, but as far as i can tell it is stock. 426ci |

Yes the carbed 305 does deffinentaly suck. I want to put a 350 in it sometime hopefully soon. I would like to make it have around 400 hp, that would be really awsome. Ricers suck, 426ci |

"ricers suck" My sister is turning out to be a ricer  She wants an eclipse, and is already wanting a body kit, wing, rims, decals to go on a car when she gets it. What makes it even worse is she calls those things "racing stuff". Cant wait till she gets a car...she says she is going to pull up beside me one day and out run me. In her dreams.  |

Yea before 83 - 84 they had the old single throttle body system. Which is a pain in the ass, why most every one you see has a carb on it, or newer type FI system on it.

I like imports, I think the things some people do to them is gay (riced out stuff). The Ricer look isnt as bad as the Ricer attitude. Way I see it, I may think it looks gay, but atleast they put their time and effort into it, and enjoy the hobby. The true ricers who have the ricer attitude is what gets on my nerves. IMO Do what you want, its your car...but dont act all big and bad when all you have is a body kit and rims.

I hate ricers too. Nova, blow away your sister. Seriously, I hate people like that. "I'll blow you away".. That's like my neighbor with his Ford Escort saying its faster than my Rex. So, I told him lets go to 422 and try them out. I killed him before I even got into second. What I really want to do is get an old Nissan 240Z and stick a 400 SBC in it.. (If you get Hot Rod magazine, look at page 73 in the "Pump Gas Drags" issue.. its my inspirtation  ) |
