I take it you received the PM I sent you over there warning about the attitudes you can encounter, there are a lot of great minds there but there is an equal amount of bad attitudes and you're almost guaranteed to encounter doubters when you're doing something new and different.
The majority of the swappers are still building up iron heads with the Fiero's restrictive intake or even worse a naturally aspirated 3800 when the 3400 and 3500 with a little of the mods they are doing would return a lot more performance. As I stated in the PM, don't waste your breath, just show them.

I just chimed in on the thread because I knew a little about the subject. I've mentioned a lot about what's going on with the newer generation engines on the Fiero Forum but the Iron Head fever persists over there. You should look up merlots 3.4L thread over there to see how much he invested in building that iron head motor and what he got in return, before he came on over from the dark side.
Most of the rehtoric is from individuals that are thinking in iron head terms because they have little to no knowledge or experience with what the aluminum head motors can do and only know about what has been achieved with the 3.4L.
Despite what Superdave has accomplished naturally aspirated, they're not making the connection with what the same engine can do turbocharged.
Even your engine with its smaller displacement out performs the 3800 SC, but they're still flocking to it.

They haven't said anything bad since I showed up, even though there has been 700 more views.
I show that video because it's my favorite. I love the way the Mustang jumps the light and you still manage to chace him down after spinning your tires for what's probably a second

lol. True. If the car is happy with me tonight you'll have some new times to brag about. Took the system out, getting better radials (hopefully) better "meth", going to bring the rear up alittle probably and going hoodless for less weight and because I broke one of my hood latches Damn things are $110 a set.....12.9 or bust. Which reminds me, gotta fix my small meth leak and get my boost controller hooked back up

Will they let you run hoodless at the track? Might not...
