Probably the best apples to apples comparison offered. This car is a 1994 SLP firehawk (Ed Hamberger's company.) The only changes done between this car and the 1994 V8 firebird is the "ram air" induction... The standard V8 firebird made a rated 275 crank hp the firehawk made a rated 300 crank hp. Same heads,cam, exhaust (the optional exhaust added 15more) same throttle body. Ect. There was a tune change required and a map location change required but nothing crazy because the car still had to pass cal emissions... Basically, Just the hood which is sealed to and feeds directly into the throttle body. Now you could say "oh its marketing" but time slips don't lie. The std V8 FB was no match for the same year Vette in 0-60 or 1/4 mile...But the Firehawk easily beat the Vette which btw also used the same LT1 engine with a different cam. So, Ram air > camshaft in power gain. Yes there's suspension changes, and vette sized wheels and tires. No gear changes. Please explain this any other way.
