I would love to see your car in the 11's. That wouls be so awesome. And I would also like to see you race the 4.0 turbo WCF car. That would be nice to see as well.

I don't think it is worth puffing your chests out there for either of you. Thats just my view

I will say this. That one 3800 S/C Fiero ran a low 13 with just a pulley. It was Lildevil's car. To go from low 13's to even high 11's is going to take quite a bit more power. probably hi-intesity rockers, even smaller pulley, maybe intercooler and then other small things. I think you have what just the pulley mod now? Not quite sure. Haven't been to your site.

I do know that the WCF car is fast though with the 3.4 7k redline and with that good sized turbo is going to haul top end. Probably along the lines of a Z06. Not sure but just maybe If not more boost is the answer. Z06 are known for 115 trap speeds out of the box. Thats hauling.

You are probably going to need about 400 crank hp to get into the 11's and some good driving too. I am sure you probably know this though. You seem to have done your homework. I am rooting for you and yoru car to run 11's. I think that would be awesome. With my project I think mid 12's would be good enough for me.

You thinking of doing a high stall TC?


Just an FYI, the fastest Grand Prix is running a 12.52, no nitrous, its FWD with terrible traction, and weighs 600 lbs more than me.

I'm going to put my money on the turbo car. No WAY are you going to hook up hard enough off the line.

But time will tell!

If you want people off your back , if you want respect FieroX , Bring the car to ED parks swap meet. There will be a drag race at the strip one night , there will be lots of engine conversions there , including archie and a few 4.9's I believe , probably a few other engine converted cars too.

I looked into going to Ed Park's swapmeet, but with me being in college, and planning to attend the Power Tour only a month later, I wouldnt be able to afford it. I will be attending the FOCOA nationals, so Ill see ya all there right?

simply because I dont share the same attitude as you - its called integrity, besides, shouldnt you be making headers for these mislead people

You guys sound more alike than different.

West Coast Fiero MAR 23, 11:20 PM
true, I guess I have a different way of saying it though. Im just affraid that he will mislead people into thinking that a 3800SC will put a car into top fuel speeds, and when a Fiero owners beleives FieroX's convictions so much that they do the same swap to thier own car - then spend time and money to establish why it is not closing in on sub 11 second trap speeds, then finally getting rid of the car out of frustration - thereby giving more credit to the general opinion out there that the Fiero is not a reputable car - plain and simple

Its strange how you dog your engine of choice. Its almost like you dont have faith in it, and prefer V8's at heart. Oh and I never said anything about running sub 11 second passes, my goal is to run an 11.999 by the end of the season. That goal will be met, and I will have video proof that will be accessable through my website. See ya this summer!
West Coast Fiero MAR 24, 03:47 AM
Oh - now it's 11.99's , back-pedal any faster and your gonna fall over
fieroX MAR 24, 03:52 AM
Find where I stated on this forum I was going to run sub 11's then I guess Ill have to back it up.
