Yep, Im not going to replace it until it fails, and if it does, I already have a plan for it.

That's is perhaps the best thing I've heard in a long time. Made in the USA and with all three parties involved this build will no doubt be the baddest Fiero on the planet. GM should be looking at this car for ways to improve on the cars they make.

With the modifications we will have to make to the S/C side covers for clearance, some of the coil packs will be exposed. You guys know how I feel about my Engine compartment, it has to look just as good as it performs and as good as the outside of the car...... so I found this on the Z06 forum Billet Ls7 coil pack covers
They looked great, but the thought of having to polish them was driving me crazy and you guys know I like chrome...... so out to the chrome shop they went. Found a great chrome shop in RI called D&D chrome plating, great price and crazy fast turn around. I shipped my parts to them on Monday 4/16 and they were back on my door step when I arrived home from work 4/23. They did a great job and more parts will be going to them soon.

Troy, you should find a nice sunny day ~mid 50's mid afternoon when traffic is lite & take this car out & just give it heck.
I just had it out, you know "Testing" (somebody has to test it, right?) & I feel 20 years younger.
Somebody has to have the burden of test driving & I guess it's on me.
BTW: the testing was to determine if I coud get the clutch to slip. Now that the tach is working properly (the guys that did the interior had the tach on the wrong setting, that's all that was wrong with it) I was able to test it in several different conditions & it appears that the "slipping" that you say you might have felt was really the rear tires spinning.
But, please don't think that I'm done testing it. It will have to be tested several more times before you get here.
Next time, I'll take the video camera along

So you feel 20 years younger so that should make you around 50 years old?

I'm trying to grasp what's it's going to be like once we have the Supercharger installed.
