U Going to Dyno it? Should be >350WHP.
bmwguru OCT 02, 05:26 AM
yeah, it will definitely be dyno'ed. I am expecting a bit more than 350whp when it is said and done.

I expect the tuning to be complete today or tomorrow.

Here is the mod list again.

Gen V supercharger with 3.0" or 2.8" pulley...not sure yet.
full size intercooler
methanol injection with 7gph nozzle
ZZP stage 3 cylinder heads with oversize valves and 130lb springs
XPZ cam with double roller timing chain
custom hand made headers with 1 5/8" primaries to 3" collector
77mm Northstar throttle body
42lb injectors (hoping they don't max out)
ZZP fuel pump
Cold Air intake
Haus of Guru tuning
Spec aluminum flywheel and stage 3+ clutch

What Fuel pump you guys are running and did you do the voltage mod? That will also determine if the injectors need to be upgraded to 60#?
I never had an issue with my 42.5 and I was running 12.0 1/4 mile when I was SC'ed. Although, that was probably attributed to more 4T65e-HD than WHP.
I hope the F40 holds up well and can put the HP to the pavement as it sure looked good on that test drive.

Considering justin makes almost double on 44lb injectors without meth injection you have problems if you Max out 42.5s at 350whp.
bmwguru OCT 02, 04:05 PM
that is good to know. I expect to see 400whp with these mods, but we will see....I'm hoping the hype with the XZP cam is based on reality. I've been tuning the car and the power is the most I have felt from a s/c 3800.

And from what we learned this was with the series II engine and on 5 cylinders. Anxious to drive it with the series III engine and all the upgrades. Right now Dave has it at the MAFOA Fall Show in Lititz, PA.

Here is the final mod list and it is ready to go home.....

Gen V supercharger with 2.9" pulley
full size intercooler
methanol injection with 5gph nozzle
ZZP stage 3 cylinder heads with oversize valves and 130lb springs
XPZ cam with double roller timing chain
custom hand made headers with 1 5/8" primaries to 3" collector

42lb injectors
ZZP fuel pump
Cold Air intake

Now I read on another thread that the owner of a Fiero got pissed because his car was used for daily driving by the builder. WHAT DO YOU THINK I AM DOING????? I think I added close to 750 miles on Charlies car since he last saw it. I also changed the pulley, tuning and meth nozzle size quite a few times to get the best balance. I finally finished the last bit of tuning in my spare time this week and I don't think I can make it any better so it is done.

Here is how I spent my evening driving home......not sure if I was testing the drivetrain or the radio out....lol.


Sorry about the camera angle.....I was worn out from the work week. Reference note: that is a 200mph speedo and I had it OVER 100MPH on that one backroad.
