I killed an autozone rear bearing pretty quick. Rockauto has timkens for a reasonable price.

Something is really off that's too rich and your power is too low for those mods. the run bellow was done on an almost stock 3.4 and you can see the mid and top-end gains. It could be something as simple as a faulty MAT sensor screwing up your A/F ratio. I've seen on do that on our wideband. Try putting a stock chip back in and driving it. The dyno run below was made with a stock chip it will let you rev it past 5.5K.

I'm using HELD rear bearings with the 4.75" bolt pattern... I'm going to look into switching over to Pontiac 6000 stuff with the Blazer S10 4x4 front bearings... This HELD/RAYNE/whatever stuff has been poorly engineered...

I did make more power with the Fiero ECM, but at the same time I put on your intake, I did a '7730 + DIS conversion. So I finally bought a burner and am doing some of my own tuning and reading alot. I've already burned myself a chip to improve that but the car will be out of commission for a few weeks (story of my life)...

Well, after buying a chip burner from Moates.net and using Tuner Pro RT to do my own tuning, I believe I've gotten alot of horsepower back. I also used some octane booster additive and the car runs much better when hot now as well. I am very please with my initial results. I don't have a dyno yet but I do have this:
Latest race against a Stealth...looks like 2 wheel drive version, no turbo...
I'm waiting for someone to post my 2nd round race where I had a "fender-bender"...

Apparently, the HELD kit will still produce some oversteer at an extreme... :/ My launches sucked, I guess 3000rpm is where its at. Was trying to go lower than last month to reduce tire spin...
Better footage:

Nice close run, I hate that track though.

Yeah, it's not in the best condition but it's only 10 minutes away.
Actaully, I think the transmission switched power wheels on me as I went into the roll in turn 3. Didn't have time to react and I was within 2 feet of him. He also admitted to his car under-steering a bit. Poop happens. I need to get to a dyno, the car is running good with my personal tune.
