I did not dyno the GM 1227730 but I did dyno the Emtron.146 hp at 242 kms /hour and 266 ft lbs at 118 kms / hour at the wheels . It is a lot more responsive on the road. No it does not make sense the amount I have invested except here in Canada I get to keep my collectors plates and I get very cheep insurance with my plates ($200 US per year) because its a numbers matching engine ..Normal insurance would cost 1200 US up here. Besides it's been a fun project and now I know every inch of my car. my tuner says that if I want to change from premium pump to race fuel we could gain quite a bit more power but I want to keep it as a street car.

Now I understand more why you chose this engine and this amount of money for reach more HP.
Here in Quebec I can do a swap and the insurance is still low do you try Hagerty insurance
My insurance send me a evaluator from this company every 4 years and he fix the price for my insurance
And they know I have a engine swap
I have a normal licence plate I can go every where with my fiero for $280CA/year
Enjoy your fiero

Claude thanks for your response. here in BC we don't have private insurance. The Provence has a monopoly on insurance with their own insurance corporation.We have no choice but to buy insurance from them.

Thank you Sleek!
It is a street legal track car, so I drive it around to local car shows. I modeled the cam profile for it but since I had no way to tune the ECM I had to compromise. Now I have full control of the tuning and it's not a problem anymore. The heads were done by an old friend that used to work for Ford on the Ford GT40 that went to lemans in the 60's.

thats cool . We have a great track here ( Area 27 ) that I would like to take mine to and do some testing but its like $600 per day and its just out of my reach so it's just for the street for now.
