Default New Firehawk

Hey guys, I'm new to this site and I've heard that you all know everything about the ls1...

So my car is a 2002 Trans-Am/Firehawk, its white with a frontend blackout kit, soon to have black decals in a few places. As for performance...I've only got a K&N Filter, and custom exaust with a Y-pipe, very loud...

Any help would be awesome!!!

Thanks guys!

John.

Most people know about theories. Ive noticed when it comes to car forums take the advice of the guy who says be mild, people who say go wild tend to own tame set ups and have no advice when you blow something up. Other than that Welcomes.

i'm looking at a set of good headers, maybe 4:10 gears.

on the mild side i'm looking at a new MAF, or maybe a new intake...

but i'm a little on the under-funded side, selling cars is a slow biz right now.

Welcome! Gotta love those Firehawks! I went with an '02 TA mostly because of the high rise spoiler, and I got a great deal. But Firehawks are still one of my favorites!

You already have the Ls6 intake, so I wouldn't worry about that...

A good mild set up would be full exhaust - headers through a nice cat-back with a lid...

depending on your power desire, this should be good, with nothing exotic

B-MAN: Are those aftermarket headlights? I know they had those on the concept firehawk, but I didn't think they ever made it into production for some DOT reason
