1200hp Turbocharged Pontiac Firebird Formula Drag Build

1200hp Turbocharged Pontiac Firebird Formula Drag Build

This Pontiac Firebird Formula has been meticulously built by Justin Cavazos, together with Jason Flores of Straightline Performance, for no-prep drag racing. Starting with a bare shell, they added a ladder bar suspension and a Burkhart Chassis 9-inch rear end. The body features fiberglass components from VFN and a junkyard roof replacement. Powering the car is a re-sleeved 5.3-liter LS block with methanol fuel, a forged crankshaft, and a DS Racing 92/110 turbocharger, estimated at 1,200 horsepower. The setup includes a two-speed Powerglide transmission and a Holley Dominator ECU. The car's performance was proven with a personal best of 5.01 in the eighth mile.
