You're insightful.

The reason I care, is because Fieros have such potential. "We coulda been a contender." In all other performance car businesses, they have a guy that does the racing (usually the owner, go figure). Someone to test new products and push the envelope. ZZPerformance has Zoomer - the guy with the FWD 12.61 grand prix; seats 4 in luxury.

We have all kinds of fiero performance/engine swap shops. Not 1 pushes the envelope.

NOT what someone else has to go and spend even more money to have it tuned. Like Oreif had to do. I can guarantee his first pull after coming out of your shop wasn't 309 whp. I bet it was well below just like the 3 cars that dynoed in Daytona all with SBC V8's.




Well you lost that bet. Baseline was 302 rwhp (initial run) then it was tweeked and the final run was 309 rwhp. There really wasn't much tuning required.
For the record, I didn't "need" to spend the money for a dyno run, I was just curious what it put down and the guys at the shop who assisted with the carb'd and EFI 3.4L also wanted to check it out.

As for the exact reason nobody has been able to find out yet. (Weather, Set-up, Correction factors, operator, ETC.)
It would be nice to know why all 3 engine readings were low.




It would also be nice to find out why shaunna didn't dyno his car that day. Maybe he knew something everyone else did not. I would really like to see what kind of 1/4 mile times shaunna's car runs but he refuses to go take it to the track. I bet it's because he has to run from a dig and that there is a definant finish line. He beat all these cars but have yet to see him beat a V-8 powered car . His excuse is "uh my camera was not working" or something ghey. I bet his turbo 3.4 runs a mid 13 second time ,maybe low 13's. yet there are other V8 powered fiero's that run much quicker than that , yet shaunna conveniantly doesn't mention those cars. For all the members of RFT who hang on everything shaunna says i truely feel sorry. He has a flock of sheep and is tending it effectively. Why doesn't anyone call him out? Because he posts mediocre vids of him beating 4 bangers? When he posts vids of his races with V-8 cars he seems to ALWAYS lose. Why ? He talks his turbo 3.4 up so much you'd think he'd be able to stomp a camaro or stang. Oh i guess he can only beat the Stock v-8's Yeah you are the man dude you beat a GXP with the LS4 (14 sec car by the way). I bet it was stock LOL . Good job pulling that boat with a crappy driver off the line .
Shaun take your turd to the track and shut every one up . .. especially me ! I can't wait to see you run 13's or slower it will make my day LOL !

SHAUNNA IS THE NEW CALIKID BECAUSE "HE HAS NOTHING TO PROVE"

Sure! It's called GM. It will be available late this year. It's a 3.6L V6 DFI..... naturally aspirated... 302 hp @ 6300 rpm and 272 ft·lbf @ 5200 rpm. It's called the LLT and is slated for MY2008.

I know the 3800 SC would fit the bill too, but it would not have 300hp from the factory, which I think is what you're looking for.

So how much horsepower would an equivalent 350 make? 478hp. Again, naturally aspirated; that's quite a feat.

Then pick up the banner and do it yourself. But don't sit on the sidelines and complain that someone else isn't doing it the way you think they should. If you know better - do it.

Do you have a link to where we can buy that 302 HP 3.6L V6 now? I can show you a number of places where you can get a ZZ4 that puts out more than that - to the rear wheels, stock. (I take it the 302 HP figure is flywheel HP, so installed in a car it's closer to 260 HP (figuring about the same losses as Orief's ZZ4 swap)

478 HP NA would be impressive. How about 465 HP in a 350, normally aspirated?

http://www.worldcastings.co...ods_pages/101011.htm I'd like to see one of these in a fiero. Probably never will though.
GKDINC JUN 09, 08:28 PM
302 @ 6300rpm My Fiero tach gauge is going to be in the red. I'm going to do some searching and see how many venders I have to call to install a v-6 super charged junk yard motor. ( I'm on dial-up) be back in a couple days.
Wish me luck

Customer comes in from California, to attend Dells show and display his car. Discuss.
