My brother is in the process of converting his T/A into a firehawk, he is ordering the hood next and will have some other stuff soon as well. I told him not to do it but its his thing. As for the pontiac racing stripe, it was on there when he bought it, it came with an SLP Lid, K&N Air Filter, SLP Smooth Bellow, SLP Cold Air Intake, and SLP Cat Back. He gutted the Cats, descreened the maf, and striped his interior. He also runs fuel from the airport in it, I believe its 96 or 98 octane? I told him running that octane wouldn't make a noticeable difference but he swears by it. His next mods are Pacesetter long tubes and y-pipe, ported throttle body, and finally a dyno tune.
There is actually a ton of stuff to do out here, fishing, swimming, rock climbing, hiking, mountain biking, riding motorcycles/ quads/ dunebuggies, fourwheeling in the mountains, racing and working on our cars...the list goes on and on.

Sweet pics, but I think I saw you post somewhere he paid upwards of $17k for his car? He could of easily of gotten a real Firehawk for that money, why not just be happy with what he has?

Seems like he is just trying to "one up" you. Getting a Trans-Am before you get one, "changing" it from a "base" Trans-Am to a top of the line Firehawk to one up your WS6, etc.

Good lord for the price he paid he could have got alot more car buyin wiser, LOL. I only gave $14,700 for mine 4yrs ago from a dealership & that was after all the taxes & extra warranty.
Props to him though for buyin all the pieces to convert it to what he really wants. Tell him running the airport gas is just inflatin his ego, LOL. Just run 91 or 93 pump gas whichever you can get in your area & call it good.
