hi, i just wanted to reply to this but the first thread is to long because of some interweb thug ninga

Im the owner of the Firehawk that Tony(Cobra8urZ06) ran and i just wanted to set some things straight about my car...

its a 2001 Formula Firehawk and its unbadged

Its a cam only car, I DO NOT have heads or a FAST 90/90, only stock LS1 heads and a LS6 intake, as far as the cam goes its smaller than a MS3 cam, the lift is in the upper 570's, the duration is on the big side though in the upper 230's and it does have a big split on a 113+1 LSA

my car is UNTUNED

i do have a set of CNC ported and polished heads sitting on a shelf in some hefty bags :thumbsup: they will be on the car soon as well as a new cam

i do have a fuddle 3600 stall converter and 3.42 gears

i dont have a seperate tank for my nitrous :??: but i don run a 93/100 octane mix for the 150 shot

other than that i have basic bolt on's and some suspension parts...

i have never ran the car at the track so i base a guesstimation of what my car could be capable of off of cars i have ran, from a roll (not my choice) i have put 2-3 cars on a car that has trapped 126, so with a good tire and a dyno tune my car should be good for upper 120's or maybe a low 130

as far as the races with Tony's cobra, i will let the videos speak for themselves as soon as he posts them :-D

and if Im not mistaken, i asked him that night what shot he was running and im pretty sure he told me he was spraying a 100 shot :??:

I hate to break it to you buddy, but your car cam only with some gas isnt going anywhere near 130mph through the 1/4.

ok, i want to run it sometime in the next two months after i get it tuned and ill post the times

oh and heres my car vs. a ported whipple Cobra with full bolt ons etc. and yes the Cobra did jump me and yes i was coming back up on him up top...and this was probably the closest race ive had the way my car sits now, i just wish he would man up and run me for real (from a dig):-D

my car is a little faster now and is still untuned

That firehawk is a terd. You guys should all come down to orlando and race it. Id kick his ass but gas is too expensive.

I dont know, thats what he claims. I also heard it was a big whipple if that means anything

I do know it makes close to 700rwhp though
