Default Slowhawk time!!
After much time of wishing, having a supportive wife, and winning a free street & dyno tune, the Firehawk is gettin' some love!!

Loaded her up on the trailer tonight and will be departing for Slowhawk Performance in Bridgewater, MA early morning tomorrow.




Sorry for the horrid quality of iPhone pictures...

Going on:
American Racing Headers 1 3/4" stainless LT headers (race style)
American Racing Headers 3" stainless cat'd Y-pipe
NGK TR-6 Spark Plugs
Slowhawk Performance street & dyno tune!!

We had to use some wood to extend out the ramp but it wasn't too bad.

I learned my lesson the hard way about trailering my car to dyno. I drove my car to the dyno once snapped my driveshaft and had a nice 120 mile ride home on a roll back. I have not gone to the dyno since with out a trailer. also makes it nice so they can see the car on a cold start up to help with any cold start idle issues you could have with big cams and stuff.
