Don't pay too much attention to Stephen.... he just likes to stir up trouble every now and again. When he gets his LS4 on the road then he will officially be a V-8 lover.

It won't work. Those naysayers would say you photoshopped them anyways.
BTW, those that like to catagorize, put me in the column of appreciates Archies work. Don't think I want a sbc but you have to admire someone who loves what hes does, has been doing it for years and has many happy customers.[This message has been edited by Gokart Mozart (edited 01-12-2008).]

How is what I said stupid? I said I am only going off what I have read here on the Forum and other internet sites. I mean you said it yourself that alot of SBC Fiero owners dont post there times. If they dont post there times/dyno # then I can only go off what I read and that equals about a handful or so. Its okay though CHIP!!!!!

Keep quite now--You going to ruin everything......Yes once I have my LS4 on the road, I am sure I will love it and the power it has to offer. I think the best part of it will be that I know it will be attached to a trans that I know will handle the HP, still get 27 plus MPG and be a swap that is up to date with technology. And the sound that it will make will be nice also.

ya know, Archie is here to run a business and make a living. If you don't like V8 Fieros, then STFU. Keep it to yourself. I own an automotive business myself, and if someone doesn't like the way I fix BMWs, there are other places for that person to go. but you will not come into my shop or home and insult me. That will get your ass kicked.
You younger guys (well, younger than me) don't understand. Back in the day, when you wanted to go fast, you needed a V8. A 14 second car was fast. Turbos sucked. Times have changed. I have adapted, BUT I'd rather hear the rumble of a V8 over the sound of a fart through a bullhorn. It brings back the memories of when muscle cars were muscle cars.
If you prefer a 3800, that's fine. If you like a V8, so be it.

This is posted here to answer the question for the nice member that started this thread. Here's my answer to the original question:
I believe it might be Archie's "like it or not my way or the highway" attitude that spurs alot of harsh criticism. My personal experiences previous to my PFF membership have been less than pleseant so far, and even less so after I posed the question here to PFF. That among the absence of many obvious upgrades that could be made to the kit (for such a price) has the critics constantly abuzz.
