    are there any suspension differerences or performance differences in these two cars, besides the exterior

    between years 93-97 NOT WS6 or firehawk or anything
    1994 firebird formula

    No they are the exact same everything but her exterior but the formula wights a little less but not much. It would be a good race if there is equal drivers and gears.
    1996 Trans Am:T-tops,graphite leather,16" chrome T/A rims, Nitto's, Descreened MAF, Morosso CAI, hypertech, flowtech cut out, 1LE elbow, Silver BMR tubular SFC's, 160 thermo, limo tint, harwood ws6 hood, !side molding, Stage 2 trans.

    Looking for a driver side window.

            Looser engines are faster, not tighter engines (assuming equal dynamic compression in the cylinders). This is partly why broken in engines are faster than new ones and get better mileage (again, compression also improves). Racing engines run more clearance than street engines and rely on the pressure from higher rpms to provide the oil film to protect the bearings, crank, & rods. Some drag cars used to run .010 on the crank, and if you idled them at low rpm, they would get damaged. Looser=less friction.

            Now blueprinted engines are a different matter. They are precision machined to equalize the power output of all of the cylinders which makes the engine run smoother which increases the power output. Also they make sure everything is perfectly balanced and aligned, so nothing robs power. Blueprinting is a GOOD way to spend your money...
