A Dynojet wideband gauge monitors the ever-so-important air/fuel ratio. The gauge incorporates a shift light so Keith is alerted to the fast approaching 7,100-rpm shift points.
During the weekends you might even be able to find him at one of the meets for Mafia Motorsports, a high-performance car club. He would eventually like to take it out to the quarter-mile and see what it can do. If his eighth-mile times are any indication of its potential on the big end, he should be knocking on the door of the 9s and he says he has no problem driving his T/A to and from the track. Currently, it's only legal for 10s, but he has plans to make his car 9-second legal.
Conclusion
Keith says, "I love everything about the T/A and it's my dream car. There is nothing like spending all that time and effort on something and reaching your goals, and I was able to do that with the Trans Am." His best friend, Eugene Rodriguez, helped him throughout the build, and Keith states that the car wouldn't be anywhere without him. He also thanks his wife for putting up with the build-up of this bad Bird, too. "People said it couldn't be done with what I have, and I'm out doing it every week," says Keith. He has put in many hours to build one remarkable street-driven Fourth-Gen that's one scary brute. Though many municipalities may beg to differ, it seems we've learned Keith's definition of a street car.

That just happened on a recent pass when the nose came down after scraping the rear bumper. |  For street and track duty,...

The front 15x4.5-inch wheels are wrapped in Kumho 160/80-15 radial tires and offer far better street manners than bias-ply front runners. |  This TCI Outlaw shifter controls...
