Well Pavo, I might still have a video of the GT on the dyno around of here somewhere and as for any info on the DOHC this is it:
There is a reason there hasn't been a detailed build thread on my GT "it ain't done, or better yet, it ain't finished yet!" i'm going for the longest swap in Fiero history, which i think is now over three years now! <<< now that sucks!!! but the GT has been a big, no HUGE dissapointment ever since it came home from california from west coast. There was so many issues with the original swap that i've had to step away from the project to regroup for the RE-build, yes re-build ! I could have sold the GT after the dissapointment, I could have pulled the 3.4 DOHC turbo and went with any other combo and NOT lost any more money that it's going to take to re-build the 3.4 "the right way", I didn't sell it because i'm in too deep to give it up and would really like to see the finished DOHC Turbo at it's best. Taking the "dare to be different" to heart, atleast in the hot rod world cause this has become a very popular swap since I deceided to do this swap. What little I have driven the GT I like the "personality" that the DOHC gives the GT, the smooooth power of the turbo, the rev of the DOHC. I feel that there is no other combo for me and thus the reason to stick with and finish this build. The GT when I'm ready the GT is going to one of the best in the business http://w2wpowertrain.com/t-gallery-2.aspx the GT has been there in the past where some serious issues were revealed with the original build, it's in one of the open house photos. When it goes back the motor will become a race preped motor with all the right parts inside and out and pushing well into the 400hp range.
Well there's the short of it and more than the forum has known for a long time as to what is going on with the GT, the news hasn't been good so I just don't fill like posting it till there is something good to say.

Ok, I've admired this engine for a long time now but I have a question for you guys that have driven one. How does the engine affect handling?
I can only assume that with 4 cams and lots more head up high in the engine compartment that it makes the car more top-heavy and more... swayable in the curves.
Is it noticeable?
