Just won a 1994 Firebird Formula...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWA%3AIT


so what do u guys think? how much power should all that **** really make?

The only thing i'm really concerned about is ->> "Also, I did want to add, the speedometer is off. It has only been off since the cr has been put back together within the last 1,000 miles. This is due to the car originally having 2.73:1 gears, and it now having 3.42's, as well as possibly a bad vehicle speed sensor($24 part that hooks into the transmission). The needle just keeps climbing as you accelerate, and is farther off the faster you go."

what do you guys think...

The car should make 400rwhp if its running right. It has ported heads and a CC306 cam.

Get a PCM4LessTune or MadZ28 Tune and you could see 375-400 RWHP

Mid-High 11's?

that's what I was thinking.. and with some suspension and stuff maybe little lower... getting the car tuned locally (guy named moe if you live in texas and got a f-body u know of him problaby he does tons of Z06's camaro's and fbirds)

for $300
• will ride in car see before/after with tuning to see if the tunes need to be tweaked
• desired idle speed
• desired shift points
• rev limiter
• Speedometer recalibration for gear swaps
• Speed limiter removal
• change fan activation temps
• change/delete torque management
• remove Skip shift
• remove SES lights (off-road use)
• fuel flow
• any future upgrades = free tune

i think this is a pretty fair price for the above..


also this car is going to change alot in terms of apperance... its being mated with the front bumper/hood/ back hatch(cuz it has the blue stripe/flames on it to) and all the ground effects from this brand new painted body im picking up from a friend (also maybe a few more hp w/ ram air when its all set up)
