Nah... us Fiero owners r still rehashin' Caddy 4.9 swaps on Facebook...

That is very impressive. Now
I'd like to see a few in the 9s. Ever seen that all-motor Honda that runs 9s?? For all the bragging Fiero owners seem to do I'd like to see more performance .

No kidding. there's a couple in the 9's, no manual transmissions though.

Not a true 9 in my mind if you swap engine orientation.... at least for that platform... Everyone else is doing almost flat 10's with a transverse setup still mounted where the original engine was.

That's why I still love my 12.6 second pass... my car is full in and out and still can drive cross country. Even when it's direct port it will still have that ability

I have had hours upon hours on DynoJets, and will say, it doesn't matter what gear you are in, the HP is going to be the same. A lot of times, I will do 3rd gear to keep the wheel speed lower on my friend's dyno. The reason tuners like the higher gear is the engine will take longer to go through the RPM's and you have more resolution. I have done back to back pulls in 3rd and 4th and the curves were identical, just a little more choppy when zooming in. As far as not caring about dyno numbers, most of the stuff we tune is not street legal, or we would have to be doing 100mph to get a good 3rd gear pull - not so safe to do either on the street, so rolling road dyno it is for me. It's nice to hold the RPM and tune on the fly until you dial in each cell, sitting in a chair next to the car.

one of them is electric. pretty cool, but not much range... I'd like to see one of these guys get a huge budget to make a fiero go fast, see what one will really do.
