  • We have a stock Trans Am Firehawk on the dyno for the first time. The only thing different on it is the mufflers. So we opened up the tune to see that it had already been tuned before. We were able to improve on those numbers by 10hp and 12 tq. It was such a beautiful car!

    Back in 98, We had a stock Firebird Formula we used for Autocross. K&N air filter and SLP cat back. Dyno ed at 317hp at sea level and good air. It also ran 13.35@ 107.9 MPH at Capital raceway nearly at sea level. It also got 28mpg highway. I miss that car

      Nice! I had a '93 Formula 6-speed around the time these LS1 cars were getting popular. Always wanted a Firehawk but I was young and they were out of my price range. Of course having an LT1 I was behind all the LS cars. Bolt-ons and a 175 shot took care of that and made sure I was safe against most LSs that may have rolled up beside me back then. :)

    Nice video. My tuner targets 12.5-12.8 AFR up here @ 4,500 FT, seems to be a good balance of power and reliability. Timing-wise, we can usually get away with running up to 34-37 degrees on N/A cars running 91.

    • @DeepStageTuningAndPerformance
      @DeepStageTuningAndPerformance  2 года назад +3

      I've never seen an LS motor make power up that high in the timing. Elevation may have something to do with it but at some point, they stop making power. Whether it holds more or not is irrelevant. If it stops making power at 25, that's where you leave it. Like I said, the elevation may have something to do with it.

    Bone stock SS amd WS6 cars (having the smaller factory free flowing muffler with polished tips) 01-02s with t56 and ls6 intake manifolds with paper air filter will lay down 297 to 309whp max from what I've personally have straped down to the dynojet at a shop i use to worked at. Firehawks having some SLP extras.. I'd imagine more than 309whp...? Of course I'm responding before watching the video... But all LS1 motors with LS6 intake and thru t56 trans with full bolt ons and tune will make 350-360 ish whp. Excluding roller rockers or SLP rocker arms. 4L60E cars about 10-15whp less.

    FYI the WS6 and the Firehawk are too different cars. The fire hawk had additional options from SLP that you could not get on the WS6. Like the hood was different on the WS6 vs the Firehawks with rear heat ducts on the hood.

    • @DeepStageTuningAndPerformance
      @DeepStageTuningAndPerformance  Год назад

      You're absolutely correct. The Firehawks were based off of the Trans Am setup. The WS6 added quite a few different things to it. The hood being the biggest difference but the SLP add ons as well.

    What a good looking Pontiac. Knowing not much, I am surprised the hp numbers are that modest even for a mostly unmolested LS1 v8. It then occurred to me that our (fmr) 2012 Mustang 3.7 V6 was "officially" rated at 305 hp (non-dyno). Jay Leno was gifted a (then new) '02 Firebird WS6 manual and I just couldn't help but like and respect the car. These "corporate modular motors" mostly leave me cold and uninspired so-to-speak.

      The Firehawk had more power than the base Trans Am's. It was more of a video that showed the base cars didn't make huge numbers. They were always CRANK hp. Parasitic loss always eats it up. This was also a 4L60 car. The 4L60's are KNOWN for being heart breakers.

      Engine tech has improved a lot in that time needless to say but in this cars defense, despite age, its biggest setback is that slush box. The M6 cars were much more stout when it comes to making decent power.
      From a MPG perspective the LS1 isn’t quite as bad as you might think. With some break in miles I’ve known some folks to pull high 20’s on average on the highway depending on how they were driving.

      Tunes always help over the stock calibration. There is torque management involved as well as being able to add more power through proper timing and air fuel calibrations. Stock tunes aren't set up for power as much as basic 50 state drive ability.
