Time to make the 3800 SC Fiero a bit Faster.

It has been several years since it first ran 11.80 @114 in the 1/4 mile - and this MN Winter is the perfect time to perform some additional mods to hopefully set a few personal bests this summer. Let me know if you have any additional ideas.

HERE'S MY PLAN!



------------------
84/87 NB, 3800SC, E-85, VS Cam, 2.8 Pulley, 4T65E-HD, HP Tuners, AEM Wideband, Regal GS Gauges, S-10 Brake Booster. 1/4 mile -11.85 at 114mph

Good video, as always.

You asked for suggestions....

- Water to air intercooler between SC and LIM.
Get that charge air as cool as you can!
( I know you're running ethanol, but you're leaving power on the table)

- Get the car to hook better - there is a lot of wheelspin off the line.

Keep up the good work!

Thank you - I 100% agree - great stuff!!

I have spent a few hours over the past month watching all his 3800 vids. I need to go through them all a again and take notes as to what works and what doesn't.
