A Bird Without Wings
I own a 1989 firebird formula with an L98 motor in it.( I was told it was a Corvette Motor) Tonight I went up against a good friend of mine in a race. He beat me but, thats not the bad part he did it in a 2000 Ford mustang. It gets worse he has a v-6 motor. I need to know how to race an automatic and how I can get the most power out of my engine when I do race. Please, any comments or suggestions to help.

Thanks I will definitely look into that. Do you know if I should use first second and drive gears when I race.
