Maybe the firehawk isn't hole sawed to within an inch of its life.

Yeah I agree, it looked like at least a solid 3 mph difference

I wasn't aware ls6 cylinder heads came with upgraded aftermarket rockers, springs, etc from the factory.

Wow. I know I have beat some boss mani cars with my cam only LS6. This one ran very well.

Racing an exhaust only 15' (beat by 5 cars), I can assume if I raced this one I would fair about as well as this firehawk or perhaps worse. Point is, that is a huge delta in power.

Good win for the 5.0. He has to be making 460-470 rwhp

If everything on the video is correct, as far as mods go, then this Bro would **** on a stock 6th gen.

Looked like more than a 30rwhp difference but then again, Idk.

And no way a stock 6th gen would be in that race. Most likely would have the same gap behind the firehawk.

Is the hawk cammed? I'm going to assume not judging by the outcome. Honestly speaking (and I prefer a 5.0 any day over a 4g) either that was a **** setup hawk, or he was not cammed. Even at 435 rwhp it should have been a lot closer than that with the edge to the stang.
