Does anyone have any good videos of 4.9's? There are some on youtube and streetfire, but I thought It'd be nice to gather what we've got here.

I've tried really hard to find some good 4.9 turbo vids, but I've has been unsuccessful. All i can find is videos of the "heir" of the engine in a lambo replica pottering around the neighbourhood. As it seems, the videos of PBJ's and Her86GT are all but gone. I'd love to see some WOT footage of it!

Here are some of my favorites:

As for PBJ's/Her86GT turbo 4.9L Fiero GT. That car was well built and ran the 1/4 mile in the low 12's with Becky driving. Pete is a skilled GM mechanic and after the engine swap was done, he did a great dash swap on his car. Things were quiet for a time, the 4.9L car was sold and then Pete resurfaced with a turbo 3800. That's the last that we've heard from him and that was a few years back.
Over time, many forum members seem to lose interest in racing, in the Fiero car hobby and move on. Pete and Becky may have moved on to other things as well.

I see... But shouldn't there at least be some videos of the 4.9 turbo that they built? I'd just like to see (and hear) some of the old videos of the 4.9 turbo, it doesn't have to be recent. When I read about Pete and Becky's 4.9, everybody talks about the sound that it makes, but all I get when I click those old links is a "404 - not found" message...

This might be an early video before the turbo though.
