saw a post from this site regarding some amazing 1/4 mile times and HP numbers.

I am looking at buying a Firehawk ( i used to own a 1995) and this seems to be the site to come to regarding that kinda car and making it a killer streetmachine.

attached is the firehawk im looking to replace and to upgrade

Hey stranger

There are quite few folk here with great knowledge about what works and what doesn't.

How quick do you want to go?

viper is my dreamcar... you can go as fast as your wallet permits... Here you'll find everything from electric blowers, to twin rigs... It's all about the bank account friend... Do a little research, read a few pages back into the board "specifically forced induction if you want huge numbers" and then start asking questions and searching when you think you know the route you want to go. Thats the best information I have for you sitting where you are. Good Luck!

hey TQ; good to see you brother. nice site here. im looking forward to learning much so as to have a firehawk worthy of the spot next to the viper

like the viper though, i do not want daily drivability and reliability sacrificed. i could care less how quick a bucket is if it cant be driven daily it isnt worth squat IMO.

so, that being said, im gonna surf around here and start learning a few things
