The Bottom Line
This is TTA has been driven, maintained, and very well cared for by myself and the previous owners. The new engine has about 800 miles on it and is set at 8psi max boost. My engine builder, a well known GN builder is estimating a max boost of 13-15psi once full break in is achieved. Since the GN pistons run a slightly higher compression the original 16.5psi TTA boost will not be safe unless race fuel or alcohol injection assist is used. However since there is slightly higher compression even running with no boost the car runs very strong. This car needs to be driven and enjoyed. I have almost $15,000 in the car as it sits. Asking $12,500 OBO. I have the clear Texas title in hand, all serious offers considered. Located just north of Austin Tx. Contact Jeff at camaroguy@hardwayracing.com or 512-297-8842
