I am not going to waste my time calling them. I have already wasted to much already. I gave you the link so you can get a hood ordered. So just shut your azz. I wasn't trying to start anything, but I can if you keep it up.

It is your car, it doesn't matter what anyone else says. When I first ask, I was only trying to find out.

Haha damn man...he was just asking if it was real and when he said "if it is real" he more meant since it is real and then gave you a link. Apparently you've been asked a lot before so do you get this upset everytime someone asks you if it's real?

Good street cam or daily driver style cam. Makes good power and sounds good too. I made 396rwhp and 387rwtq not professionally tuned, but from a goofy personal tune on my predator programmer. Here's some vids.

If you don't believe that my car is a Firehawk, #362, look on my fquick page at the birth certificate or at the VIN# and call SLP yourself. (732-349-2109)

Oh, and it's not a "Raptor" hood. It's a SLP Ram Air H.O. hood. Good try though.
When you get that firehawk hood you might want to take off that red "firehawk" script on you doors, cause that's not original either.

I installed a 224/224 .581/.581 on 112LSA. My numbers came in at 393 maxhp & 366 max torque. All boltons with QTP and no cats. Pulls strong and idles well. It is an M6. I highly reccomend it is a great cam and has tremendous street manners IMHO.

You guys are too funny.... Just leave the guy alone. Its obviously a touchy subject for him. He asked a question and give him some answers.....Oh and to the OP- sorry I dont have a cam in my car yet so I can't answer. I know this was a worthless post.

From what I gathered you can expect to gain around 30rwhp with cam if you already have headers?
Is there anyway to avoid cam surge?

I agree. I've had my TR224 since 03 and am still happy with it. I've added heads to wake it up even more and it runs awesome and drives very similar to stock with the right tune. Mikey @ Rapid put a awesome street and track tune on the car. I made 399rwhp @ 386rwtq cam only with ORY and 389rwhp @ 37?rwtq with a QTP Cat Y.

Haha, its all good, just trying to get some input. Seems like a lot of people like this cam. I think this will be the one I go with. Heard a lot of good stuff about the MS3 cam as well.

Nice numbers, That's what I'm trying to get. Right at around the 400rwhp numbers in the low 12s maybe high 11s with slicks. Is that feasible?

Awesome nice numbers...

Probably the cam I'm going to go with. That being said, anyone have one for sale?

Just busting your hump on the firehawk lettering. I think that red looks pretty damn good on there.

Put down 378 at the wheels with boltons.

wow, it seems pretty good people running around 400RWHP with the 224 cam-only and bolt-ons.

Now what if we ran with some PRC Stg 2.5 5.3L heads, would it make some more power over the stock 241's? If so, about how much?

its going to depend on m6 or a4. with some 5.3l heads i would guess around 420 to the wheels with a m6 or a little higher but results very A LOT. make sure you get it tuned by a well known shop and you wont be unhappy
