why E85 on the firehawk? would assume a lower compression LS1 would not benefit from it. Nice kill btw!

Because LS guys like to imagine the new 5.0s are about as fast as a 2v. Sadly many LS guys will soon be taking their lumps from them.

15 5.0's are unimpressive. 11-14 5.0's are impressive

I have to agree on this one. Not to take away from the 5.0, but I'd expect with a cam + bolt ons, that that Firehawk would be at least a 120mph car. That is of course depending on the cam. Is he running stock 241 heads? If so, then I don't see the e85 doing much of anything for him.

At least? Average LS1 Firehawks with a cam and bolt-ons are not running at least 120, no matter how many times you longingly stare at the cam and bolt-ons fast list. If he ports the 241s, that's a different story. But then again this is LS1 Tech, where every car should run close to the fast list and everything that doesn't is crap.

I generally get an overwhelming sense of asshat from you, but that had me giggling.
