Z71_Denali Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I went to Houston Motorsports Park on Friday with a friend that owns a Firebird Formula, set up for the 1/8th mile. We just went for a little test-n-tune. other than the motorcycles there, his car was one of the fastest on the track that night. here's his setup: stock bottom end MTI custom ported heads and cam FAST intake 150-175 shot nitrous Turbo 400 transmission Ford 9" rear end Mickey Thompson ET drag tires Weld Racing wheels custom roll cage Kirkey racing seat the list goes on... his fastest time of the night was a 6.53 @ 105 mph <iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Y6EhKJgNtU8" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" width="560"></iframe> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z71_Denali Posted September 26, 2011 Author Share Posted September 26, 2011 105mph in the 1/8 is pretty quick. yeah, i forgot to mention he has a line lock for doing burnouts to warm up the tires, and a trans brake to rev the engine up before takeoff. the engine has about 400 hp without nitrous, and what impressed me is he's able to get the front wheels off the ground when he takes off!

70'sChevyGirl Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 The only thing I don't like about the 1/8 mile is that it is too short!! Nice time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you guys had a good time! yeah that was the first time i've been out at the track in a couple years. i ran my camaro in Dec 2009 up in Tulsa, ran a 12.23 @ 113 on street tires. next time, i'm going to have to talk him into letting me drive it down the track once or twice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
