Also does any one knwo the stock oil pressure for a gt 87' fiero.. also do the oil pressure reg. in the oil pan, do they go bad often. the car has been sitting for 5 years and got it running and oil pressure is pegged to 80

The pegged oil pressure is probably the oil sending unit is shot. Easy fix part # 10045775

The 2.8 is weak. As far as boost goes the general rule of thumb is always between 6-10psi but most start with 8psi. Compression is around 8.9. Go to www.60degreev6.com or www.fiero.nl
