Not bad. I estimated about 9 seconds to 100, based on what your dad was saying. That's Corvette Z06 and Porsche GT2 territory, based on this list: http://www.car-videos.com/performance/speed.asp?Speed1=0&Speed2=100

with the gearing everyone says 167.. no idea.. speedo stops at 120, I know one time with the old 3.4 pushrod I hit about 135-140.

Have $4600 into the motor, then with the IC it'll be about $6 grand

Cool vid, although you sound like a cop on patrol with that voice. LOL Have you taken it to the track?

I believe that would be his Dad doing most of the talking... Which, I found to be the best part of the video... :lol:

lol, nope not yet.. I'm guessing mid to low 12's then hopefully low 12's all day with the intercooler to possibly high 11's. I've got to adjust the timing some more and go high as I can with out getting knock. I'm guessing this spring I'll have more time to adjust it.

I try not to do that to often the tranny's holding me back :banghead: they need to make a damn FWD tranny that can handle HP, hopefully the new Pontiac G6 gets the manual for sure (FWD setup.. RWD my worst enemy)

You should never guess your times. I found that out first hand when I went to a track. I thought that my former car would pull 12's easy. I was sadly mistaken, and my best thus far was a 13.1 sec. 1/4 mile at 112.97 mph. Of course the new one probably won't be anywhere near those times.

well stock 3800sc fieros are running solid 13's I've seen a bunch of them run solid 13's then with 1.9 rockers and a 3.25 pulley people were pulling 12.7 with autos, extra weight and what not.

I did gtech it one time with the timing all messed up and the car was a slug then. That changed a bunch, then last summer I raced a few people guy with a 97 stang few mods then another guy with mid to high 13 stang, but he said he ran 8's *rolleyes*

you figure power to rate ratio 2750 the car, me 140 then about 300 at the wheels :biggrin: been to the track a bunch with my old motor 3.4 pushrod and pulled a 14.9@92 and with my other motor 2.8 15.1@89

this motor now just makes the old motors feel like complete slugs. Not to mention my friends 97 GTP runs a 13.8 and he said the fiero pulls like bastard compared to that :cwm27:

quick link http://fiero.ptszone.com/quarter-mile.php

shows that lot of the 3800sc guys are right up there.. course the longitude mounted V8's are on top. I believe 1 is longitude (only guy longitude) #1 guy, rest are transverse.

used my digital camera sony dsc f707.. should've got the 717. I got high quality 320xwhatever, but am limited to 15 second shots where as the 717 isn't.

uploaded it to this guys server that I know. I'll get more vids eventually everyone pulls up and mocks me saying nice 4 cylinder.
