Why spend all that money on a swap that only gets you 220/240 when you could get performance heads, performance rebuild kit, v8 rods, arp rod bolts, a 260 or 272 cam, and some nitrous. Or supercharge the 2.8?

wow...seems like only a few months ago you were trashing me about building up the 2.8, you called it a paperweight i believe haha. mine should finally be done soon, finally got someone to finish it.

redneck! its been awhile...

It can EASYILY go to 160mph, STOCK. His 84 or 85 Iron duke got up to 140mph.....until it became a parts car for the 88. He bought the formula 8 months ago and it had 47k original.

Yesterday I was with my friend that has a 04 alero w/ ecotec and we were racing to a drag spot and we were doing 130mph when my friend in the fiero blew past us like we were doing 40mph and he was doing 100mph.


How do you down load videos.....so I can show your ass.

You sir, are retarded. You need to spend more time working on your car than surfing the internet. I will bet you $10k RIGHT now if you can pull out a stock 2.8 fiero that will do 160MPH. (I'll even let you borrow my GPS) I've owned 4 Fieros including a 2.5, a 2.8 and a Modded SC'd 3800. NONE OF THEM WOULD DO 160MPH. The 2.5 would BARELY creep over 100MPH. The 2.8 ran out of umph at 120mph. I could get my 3800 passed the 120 mark but not much. No matter the motor, you're either limited by the gear or the power.

Your 'perception' of how fast things are going are also void. In your own words, you said you were doing 130mph, and your friend passed you like they were doing 100 and you were doing 40. Thats a 60mph difference on top of your 130mph, that would mean that Fiero was doing 190mph.

Do humanity a favor and either, drink some bleach and take yourself out of the genepool, or don't attack peoples intelligence when you obviously have no clue what you're talking about.
