9-sec 6-speed Formula Firebird On A 100 Shot

Lord have mercy did see how flawless that thing leaves the line his suspension is on point.

Lot of that has to do with abilities with his left foot as well

[@RejuTheMojo9823]

I love that it’s a man pedal’d stick car! More driver fun! And, I’m sure he’s not shifting as quickly and hard as possible to save the trans. He seems to have a good, consistent handle on the car 👍

[@sonnik]

Love this page content!!! No frills, no long ass talking segments, or wack jokes..... Just racing. Love it, keep it up.

[@talontsi97videos]

Thank you! Exactly the point of my channel and videos.

[@philthypony]

That thing launches sweet everytime and at decent rpm. He has that thing dialed in & hitting fairly consistent numbers, pretty sweet for a motor only run 10.6 & with 100hp shot runs 9s be a great street car.

[@transam4555]

That is one of the baddest sounding f-bodies I've heard in a long time.. awesome job

[@elr456]

I like that you included the sound of the car as it slows down at the end of the run, that Trans Am sounded great 👍

[@petrolhead8851]

Clicked like before watching it simply because it’s a 6spd manual!!!! NOW THIS IS A REAL MANS CAR!!!! Such a bad ass and clean looking formula,sounds fucking awesome too! Hurray for the trickflow parts as well!!! They make awesome top end kits for mustangs and chevys

[@talontsi97videos]

Exactly, its nice to see a stick out there performing these days.

[@petrolhead8851]

TalonTSi97 Videos and putting down some good 1/4 mile times! Too many people now in days on the auto band wagon

[@woodgrain18]

that is a beautiful Bird!

[@NjDevilCamaro408]

Mike sure does have a badass formula

[@marcuspuzio7720]

That dude lives in point pleasant N.J ...he lives around the corner from me ...he drives on street all the time ..i see him launching at lights on rt70 lol ...things sick ...he is always doing somthing to it ...love that car ..

[@talontsi97videos]

hahah yep... STREET CAR

[@mikefay1426]

Lol guess I’m caught! 😬

@@mikefay1426 what seat is that in your car? Badass ride man

[@RotaryGoneRogue]

Might be time for a twin disc & a 200 shot to go deep 9's

[@4everdomingo]

Pontiac all day!

[@mcoon1987]

Beautiful car and nice driving! Personally I’d keep my foot planted between shifts but that’s not the best for longevity lol.

[@paceta80]

Gorgeous Formula

[@Colt_10R80]

Nice simple setup, too bad that clutch wouldn’t take the 150 shot..... the driver was very solid and consistent. It’s not easy to launch a stick car consistently like that

[@mikefay1426]

Thank you! New clutch setup should help quite a bit!

[@Colt_10R80]

Mike Fay definitely bro! You were driving that bihhh for sure!! I’ve got a ls2 based 408 in my GTO as well. I went prc 247cc cathedral.Which TFS heads are you running?

[@440Racing]

Beautiful car and beautiful launches! Theres a guy with a red one by me on a 150 shot.

[@talontsi97videos]

This will be on more spray once a good clutch goes in to hold it.

[@440Racing]

@@talontsi97videos Awesome! Cant wait to see. Hopefully I'll have a camaro/firebird almost like that in a few years.

[@ethangto]

Nice launch and driving. I love to see stick cars doing work. Any info on the rear tire set up and what PSI he's running?

[@stevem8128]

Mike you are the man..

[@kennedypuckettmusic2067]

Dude, I f@cking love formula firebirds. Way better than the trans am.

[@slowvette7189]

Trap speed is pretty fast for a 100 shot on a 450hp motor

[@anthonymonaco5976]

Who said 450hp. ?? Did u watch/ listen to video ?

[@Oddfox_garage]

Whats the exhaust set up ?? Sounds great and very different from most 4th gens IMO

[@mikefay1426]

All the exhaust is off of ebay.. it’s an obx catback. Looks very similar to magnaflow

[@edwardmarasco4695]

Mike Fay any more info on your engine build? Or what’s done too your trans ? And IG? Lol

[@mikefay1426]

My IG is @mcflayy

[@velr50gt]

It seems to me that he’s dead hooking and the rpms go down once the clutch is released. I think if he raises the tires psi 1-2 pounds he’ll be golden.

[@billymz28]

Yeah agreed 6 speed cars run little quicker with hair of wheel spin

[@jeremypietrzak7036]

Bet it would benefit going to a radial also. Little greasy, change up some angles, get his wheel speed back

[@jay.0621]

that thing is clean!

[@miamiruns2431]

are those 15s on the front ? what size tires

[@joedoole3527]

Nice setup there, seems to work well for you. Makes me miss having a 3 pedal setup for sure. If you ever find yourself needing a better clutch setup, I can't say enough good things about the Monster LT1-R- they'll take just about anything you throw at them as far as power & RPM. Are you running the TFS 245 heads? I'm curious how they flow as I always ran AFR or Brodix heads for many years but more recently tried a couple sets of PRC heads for last 2 builds and have been quite happy with them; their port/CNC work is top notch and the flow is excellent.

[@mikefay1426]

Tfs 255 intake runner heads, porter by TEA

[@troychambliss9861]

Are those heads out of the box, i have Tony Mamo 265 and I'm not really impressed with them.

[@doughtonantoine]

What does shebrun on motor

[@jabawockee199]

So much sexier than the new Z06. Faster and cheaper to build. Sounds sooooooo much better too!

Bucket list of cars to own hard to find a good one nobody wana let em go

Yep, the Formula always been my favorite

[@6gendj584]

I got a 02 firehawk same color $10,500 will buy it.. Automatic tho

[@bradleyslusser2279]

Put an auto in that thing with alittle more spray... Killer Bird though..

[@NativeTexMexican]

Nice car bro.

[@xJayFitz]

What clutch? I’d love to see him with a better clutch and leaving on a 150 or 200! Good driving and beautiful car

[@talontsi97videos]

I will ask, but a new clutch and more spray is the plan now that we are in winter season.

[@mikefay1426]

It was a diamond stage 3. Going with custom unit from black magic next.

Built T56 magnum

Mike Fay, right on! I got a t56 from a 94 camaro I sent to hawks motorsports for a level 2 rebuild. How much did your t56 run you total when it was finished?

130mph trap speed on motor with only 450hp? yeah ok.

[@anthonymonaco5976]

Who said 450hp. ??? Asking for a friend

[@b00stedrust]

@@anthonymonaco5976 was one of the first comments. User Slow Vette... Maybe it was mentioned in the video but I'm not sure about that.. But usually people are pretty knowledgeable and tight-knit in these video comment sections.. so I'm assuming.. But I could have swore I heard it somewhere besides the commentor too. But I could be wrong.. But looks like right now since I can't really watch the video cuz I'm at work... The only thing I can see is the comment by slow Vette.... Currently.

[@mikefay1426]

b00stedrust it made a little over 450... slow vette is assuming I guess

[@b00stedrust]

130mph trap speed at 450hp or even a little over isnt happening in that car.. at weight... sorry... my 2650lb integra went 126mph @ 417WHP.. thats over 450crank hp.....you're telling me something that weighs alot more is doing 130mph with 'a lil over' 450hp... in a car that weights 3500lbs? No Sir.

[@anthonymonaco5976]

@@b00stedrust I'm on your side. I feel like someone else may be fibbing a lil LOL. What kinda HPs you think it makes. Just curious.

[@Motherofmusic]

Nice car and good driving, losing some time in those shifts though. They could definitely be a little quicker...

[@U.F.0.]

Either that car is heavy or something is wrong. That's not fast at all for that set up

9.7s with a automatic lot of time lost in between gears!

I figure at least 9.50 good auto n converter
