I JUST WANT A SET FOR MYSELF

ok so here is my idea, if any one wants to steel this i only request that they send me a set.
i want 1" spacers to go between the upper and middle intake manifold, to round out the raioudous. you could just use the manifold as a template and cut it out of 1" flat stock and sell them for $30.00 bucks a set and $5.00 for extra long hardware.
if any one wants to sell this product i dont have a problem with it, i think this will help with the NA flow,

I JUST WANT A SET FOR MYSELF

Making the radii rounder can make the air flow easier, But lengthening the runner length reduces flow a little at the high rpm range.
What it will do is to increase low end torque and cut back on high rpm power.

That would be amazingly easy to make, but the Fiero isn't really lacking in torque. Just be hurting yourself where the Fiero hurts most.

Larry Johnson from cedar rapids Iowa made something like you described, about 3-4 years ago, I don't know if he still has them or not, he was talking about producing them but I guess he never got around to it. I lost the pictures that I had of them.

I got set here for mine. I paid a local machine shop $78.00 to make them but they are perfect from a C&C machine out of billet aluminum.

I can get you a set made, I will haveto check the price as Aluminum went up in price from last year. you will not get them made for $30.00... not a chance.

Was he at Fierorama like 4yrs ago selling them?

I swear I seen these things there, and they were polished with Fiero or something similair engraved on the sides. Looked real sharp, but I havent seen them since. Maybe Im going crazy?

Your idea may help some but overall the Fiero intake is fairly restrictive. Take a look at the flow areas near the top and around the injector bosses. Some serious porting is necessary there.
