Got my Daily into the 9's Big thanks to don aka Slowhawk Performance for helping me out big time!
Long story short i had a black 99 T/A that was my Daily with a turbocharged Lq4 , stock ported 317 heads and nitrous cam. it ran 10.50's weighing 3860 without me in it. last winter i got T-Boned so i gutted it and bought a donor.
Plan was , lighter , faster , stronger.
It is an 01 SOM Firebird , Ebony cloth manual interior, and a hardtop. I wanted the lightest possible Platform.
Over the winter i built this car in house at Slowhawk , Because i work there.
I worked VERY VERY hard to keep this car my Daily. Its easy to go fast, gutting cars and putting parts in them looking for power and losing drive-ability but that was unacceptable for this car.
I Daily drive this car, 45 miles to work and back everyday 7 days a week. Drive it to the track 115 miles from my house and back, 3.25's and OD are great
Slowhawk Performance tune
ls2 402
stock ported heads
Very mild Comp Cam , custom grind spec'd by slowhawk
stock 4l80e with a HD2 shift kit
Tv7401 Garret 71mm turbo
3.25 gears in a Fab 9 midwest chassis rear.
Full 100% stock interior , only added the 6 point wolfe cage.
Car made 680/650 on slowhawks mustang dyno.
weighs 3610 with me in it.
Drove it to NED to make my first shakedown pass just to see where i stood...........well ...
1.71 60ft
6.40 1/8
117 mph
9.80 1/4
144 mph

I loved seeing this car in person. Awesome job!
This is a true mid 9 sec car you can drive every day, and with the exhaust setup its tamer than most header/catback cars. You would never know you were about to get destroyed, haha.
60 footing with a 4l80e and a tight converter under boost is not easy either.
Great job all.
