LS-Swapped Compound Turbo Pontiac Trans Am
This unique Pontiac Trans Am, built by Timothy Ball, features a home-fabricated compound turbo setup powered by an LS-swap. The car initially had a non-original 400ci block but was transformed with a junkyard 5.3-liter LS engine. Ball crafted a compound turbo system with a GT45-style turbo and a smaller T3/T4 hybrid snail, producing an estimated 600hp. The build also includes a custom manifold, Holley Terminator X EFI system, and runs on E85 fuel.
