Had the same problem. Those new heated Bosch 02s solved the problem. But your Firehawk has those anyway already :)

Perhaps a late effect from the leaded racing fuel... ;) j/k

I would have to agree with john ac delco. Not to expensive and they work. I could get you a pair in a day If I were in Baumholder right now.

and thenthose 400+ horses kick in and his tires produce massive violent cloud formations that wildly try to chase and outrun Hawk-

-but they never do- his motor's intakes are producing a low pressure air mass at his front

and goes exactly where he put's it and it does not even "break a sweat"

Bruce, you better get that fixed. Glen wanted me to come here and tell you he'll clip the Hawk's wings in Hockenheim. Have any of you seen Glen's car in action at the Nitro Olympics? I wasn't there, but from what I hear he was pulling the front wheels of the ground and running 10's. Good luck! :ok:

@chevy: He did good enough to tear up his differential twice... :(

@jack: Red 2nd gen Z28 T-Top w/ aftermarket hood ... (though there are different views on whether it is actually red ... or rather pink :lol:)

If I am not mistaken, he hooked damn hard! I thought he was going to find the wall! Although, it might have been the purple one :twisted:

maybe he needs to get an even stronger differential if he has torn it twice already....
