ported heads & intakes - very important to any Fiero 2.8 thru 3.4 build-up. the 2.8 intake is perfect for the factory motor, but thats it. any cam changes, stroke changes, bore changes all make it need more flow. let that b!tch breathe!

If you don't want to run into too many problems, I would suggest that you don't go to a bigger cam than something like the Crane Cams 2030. This cam is compatible with your stock ECM and offers some improvements over the stock cam.

I have to disagree here! I have a cam in my 3.2L thats bigger than the 2030 cam, and my car works GREAT! I also have the 1.6 roller rockers. I'll try to dig up the specs on my cam for you!

The Crane PowerMax H-260-2 or the next one up is good if you have high enough compression.
