Thanks everyone for replying! Btw the cam is not stock. It has some kind of crane cam. I forgot to mention I’ll be running the 7730 pcm with a chip.

I suggest converting to the 7730 as a first step.
This way, you can learn the ropes of tuning the 7730 on the naturally aspirated engine.

What he says its common sense. But all he does is test junkyard motors on the dyno with bolt ons. I sent a sugestion on an intake manifold test where he had 8 "straws" feeding a 4.6L Ford engine and he kept changing the height of the straws and lost power. I suggested to change the taper of the runners to increase velocity and volume and his answer was "it wont make a difference". Right there I knew he has no clue about the physics of an intake manifold to make it increase its velocity.
That's why all you see in his channel is LS and turbo stuff, basically things that takes no effort or knowledge to achieve.

I have an existing 3.4 push rod engine converted to a turbo a number of years ago. It initially used a Garret T3 turbo that i purchased from someone on eBay, but currently has a Mitsubishi turbo installed after the original one died. I do not remember the specific turbo info since this was more than 15 years ago but might be able to see a part number if I looked. I am still using a conventional distributor on this set up. The ECU was reprogrammed with custom fuel tables since it ran pig rich with the 19 pound Ford injectors. This is hooked to a Getrag 283 manual transmission and does have an upgraded cam (272 IIRC).
The vehicle runs nice and I have since installed a Trueleo intake to help out with intake restrictions.

Nice! I have a 3.4 with a vortech supercharger. A bunch of custom intake work as well as heads and cam. Running series 1 3800 injectors and water meth injection. Haven’t dynod it yet but I’ve driven a stock series 2 3800 in a fiero before and this feels on par but with better torque feel.

Just for nostalgia sake back in the early 1990's before engine swaps were popular, there was a Fiero owner by the name of Ron Meyers who had an 87GT turbo 3.1L that ran a 12.0 1/4 mile. Ron had a modified engine with a good size turbo, high boost with a shot of nitrous. ------------------
