So here is what he has:

2000 Pontiac Firehawk #2, SLP heads and cam setup (cam is 228/232 .571/.575), FAST 90/90, SLP air box, Bogarts, MT ET drags, 4l65e built by rossler, 3.73 gears in a moser 12 bolt, LT headers, shorty mufflers with turn downs, electric water pump, line lock

so whats that leave on the table for me to get him? With this whole setup on his he is running consistant 11.70's with a 1.50 60' as his best. Putting 400 to the wheels. I wanna give him a little more of a bump if its possible, anyone?

Lots of power mods..but what kind of suspension does the car have? What about tubular k-members, A-arms, torque arm, etc?

I say get him more suspension parts.

Xtremes10

well he went to tubular A arms, and from the factory it had the upgraded bilstein suspension, he doesnt have any problems hooking.

I thought about nitrous but when I ran it across him he seems to wanna stay NA so thats out

Whats out there for suspension?

QA1 gen F complete kit including ur choice of spring weight for 690 at speedinc.com

hmmmm thats tempting, what kinds of gains will he see? I dont know if I mentioned but this car is trailered it is not street legal

Also wanted to mention that he doesnt know what the heads are no one ever gave him documentation on them. If he could he would go with a much bigger cam, but without any way to tell what heads he has and know what his PTV is we are kinda stuck on that any suggestions I could use as a gift to do with that?

rice4eatingnotdrivin

its hard to say cuz from what u said B4 the car doesnt have problems hooking...

Xtremes10

Yeah he hits hard lifts the tires up off the ground thats why I am kinda sketchy on that. If I could I would buy him a new cam if I knew what his PTV was and that he could actually use the cam with his heads...

rice4eatingnotdrivin

hmmm does he have rear control arms , panhard bar, adjustable torque arm, or subframe connectors?

Xtremes10

just the torque arms and subframe connectors, I know for a fact that he probably wont gain anything from that now that I think about it. It's an 11.7 car with a 1.50 60' lol

rice4eatingnotdrivin

well what about pistons annd rods??? if he wants to do NA bump the compression up

Xtremes10

He is at 11:1 right now I believe or 12:1, I dont think its tuned right but no dyno's around here for me to get him that either, I am trying, I really keep coming back to the cam idea, any ideas on how I can tell PTV?

rice4eatingnotdrivin

to do it correctly u would have to pull the head off... u take modelers clay put it on the top of the piston put the head back on tighten it down spin it threw a revolution take the head back off and measure the thickness of the clay... its a pain in the *** but its dead accurate

Xtremes10

hmmmm any ideas on how to figure out what heads they are?

rice4eatingnotdrivin

not without looking at them... LS parts are interchangeable so thoughs heads could be anything.... if theres a casting number on one of the heads that could tell u alot... but without a casting number its really hard to tell u what they are
