Mark Todd's Pontiac Firebird

You can see the car running with these video clips, but they are quite big files

The car has now run 9.51 at 145mph

Mark contacted me Christmas 2005 about some idea's he had about making his Firebird run daft 1/4mile times, but keeping it able to run to the shops with his kids in it,

For power we went for a Dart 400ci little M block Lunati crank and rods and Ross pistons. The heads are by Canfield and a Hydraulic roller cam

FAST fuel injection will take care of the air,fuel and the ignition timing for the hot motor

The car is now finished, Mark has done over 500miles in the car , then took it to Avon Park with one of my get you down the track tunes,he went 10.04 at 141mph, lets put that in perspective the car weighs 3700lb, Marks had no track time,its fully street legal running on pump petrol,If you are thinking of a project like this why would you risk going anywhere else, just call 07976 751742

All the work you see here is done 100% in house, I have also supplied most of the parts.

The Turbos are GT35-R which will be good for 1200hp if we wanted it,but not to start with. I've fitted fuel injectors good for 950hp but with the FAST fuel injection set we can easy change them to step up on the power

If this car floats your boat call for a price, It might not be as much as you think

The Chassis and axle have been a real challenge, Mark wanted 325/50/15 Drag Radials on the back of the car but keep the car looking stock. So I cut out the old wheel tubes and remade them to look stock and remade the back part of the chassis,

We went for a Ford 9" axle with all the good bits and Pro ladder bars. This way we could keep the back seats, but the ladder bar mounts are now inside the car and will be tied into the multi point rollcage,

As you can see this is going to be one low car, Mark had a very clear image on the ride height he wanted

Big intercoolers are needed, and this is what it now has.
