You doing anything special to them ??

Tony.. This is me we're talking about... . They already have a few mods to them already. I'll have a few 13' second passes this year for sure. Nothing too spectacular, but enough to keep me happy until I can jump on the fiero again.

I would've freaked if this went into the archives. You showed me a way of making fiberglass parts while keeping a relatively low budget. I'm using the styrofoam and duct tape idea with my side skirts.

hehe thanks. Besides, I would have made a new one next year anyways when I finally piece together the finishing work on the widebody on the choptop frame. It'll get done. I love my car too much.

Thanks guys!

.....you're going to install a SHO engine......

Dude....why. It sounds cool when the Yamaha intake opens up...but why..

You could get the same power out of a 3.4 DOHC (which would be a lot easier on you and allow you more time to work on the body). WHY

Ok it is a cool idea.... but why. lol

All I have to say is why not.

If at all the reason would be because.... Look at that motor, then look at a TDC.

Not only does this motor look 1000X more exotic, it sounds more exotic....

Lets just say that I'm not planning on going the "easy route" on anything for this car. Look at what I do to my other cars, my fiero is the baby. I must conclude that Although I do like the TDC engine, the capable power output of a monster TT SHO is far more competitive then what a tdc is capable of. Keep in mind that I am talking about more then a few hundred horsepower.

Also, not to mention that I am familiar with mazda transmissions, and the MTX-4/5 are capable (after being properly built), to handle more torque then the off the market (not including 6spd), FWD Gm transmissions.

Lol, that's fine. I admire your determination. The motor sounds like a big sport bike to me.

I think that if you've ever seen that motor with the intake off, you'll agree its just another dohc V6. I know of someone right now who is building a 6 throttle body intake for the TDC, can't mention who, but I'm sure the results will look just as good as the Yamaha intake. I'm not defending the tdc though, I just think it has the same potential. That and it's a stronger motor. Deversity is a very good thing though.

I beat an automatic SHO by a nose with the 2.8.
