Seeing this reminded me of an article I seen in an old hotrod mag where this company was doing an experimental head for a Ford 5 Litre engine where the valves were removed and something similar to this was installed in a brand new casting. They had a stock black and rotating assy spinning at 10K RPMs! Never heard anything about it past that. I hope someone seen the same article I did to verify this.

So I've found another ECU that looks like it will work best for my needs. Best mix of ability and price. It's the Link G4 Xtreme. I downloaded the tuning/interface program and have been playing with it for several weeks now. It's extremely intuitive, and easy to set up complex details, assign inputs, outputs, edit maps, do everything that needs to be done. By far the best tuning interface I have ever used. Has alot of inputs/outputs, can do VVT, sequential injection, COP, traction control, anti-lag, etc. AND it's about $1400 WITH harness. This is much cheaper than many other equivalent products.

I'll post up some shots of the software later.

Very cool! I hope to see your monster on the road soon enough! I was watching Horsepower TV and they were installing some monster turbo engine in a Mustang, but they used an interesting idea for mounting the engine: sheets of steel on the transmission and the front of the engine. The front sheet could act to the keep the heat from the turbos away from the engine. I caught only part of that episode, but it sound like an interesting idea to mount a high horsepower motor.

I've been thinking about doing mount plates like that. I'm not sure if there are really enough points on the Fiero cradle to interface a mount plate with that would make it and different than the more traditional style mounts. The tradeoff that comes with being able to drop the cradle, I guess. I think it would probably be a good idea on the transmission end though.

Still working on it...Just got married a couple of days ago, hasn't been a priority on the budget lately. Been working on some other projects too, building an AR-15 among other things. No progress to report since last time, though I am going to have access to a CNC machine for quite some time soon, and I will probably be able to do some items I've posted about above.

The real question is "Will this thing ever get finished?"
The answer is I think not.
