Everyone gets all upset when people with the 3800SC cars chime in here. I'm not here to argue with anybody. Archie does great work, I love madcurl's car's and I love a stock V8 that makes some great numbers. The problem is basically that the people that have taken the time to go to the track have their numbers and info. So when I say my car is faster than yours, well most likely it is. Why? Because I have been to the track over and over. I know my car is capable of mid 11's. Show me another Fiero that is putting down 12.0 @ 118mph on street tires. We dont want to argue, I could careless about that, so whenever I post at least put some consideration into what I write. Oreif is about the only person I know that has been to the track and put down some numbers. I love California Kid's car to death and I have even met him in person....Tom is a great guy met him up at the 20th Anniversary. Most people just want to see a video of him at the track and what times it might put down. I have been reading this forum for over 7 years and honestly track times and videos shut up 90% of the drama. If I got on here and claimed a 12 sec car with a 3800sc, how many would say what track, when, what tires, what mods. Lots of people. I agree some dont like to go to the track and some do, but when you get crap for your car being a turd, well you have to earn it by shoving it down everyone's throat about how fast it is and what it can do. It's as simple as that. Flame me all you want, I'm just saying what it boils down to.

Whats wrong with a "forced induction V6" shop? I'm a fan of any engine swap to a Fiero. I like to see new and different things done to Fieros. I also do like most of the cars you have built. But, I don't see any reason why you should put down other swaps just because your dyno was low. I understand if the customer wants a stock V8 dropped into their Fiero, thats great. Just don't put down other engine swaps that people have put alot of time into. I'll be more then glad to run my Fiero that I built against any Fiero you've ever built if you really have a problem with a force feed V6. Not goin to lie, my 14PSI does blowhard alright

Mellow out Dude, there's nothing wrong with a Forced Induction shop. The best thing is that it'll let them show everybody how to run a business.

I'd suggest you go back & read the whole thread.

I said nothing against forcefed engines. Some of my best friends own them.
