Ya, those accessories and manual trans just kick the crap out of HP and Torque. Typically the alternator requires 1.5-2 HP, the electric water pump they used gains 6 HP over an under drive pump (I use a smaller Ford pulley on mine), and the Fiero Getrag has been mentioned as a 10% loss. But hey, you have to keep in mine that nearly all engine dyno runs are done the exact same way, to bad your not impressed..

I have said this many times and I'll say it again. The TPI is the cheapest fuel injected SBC you cam build. You use your stock V6 harness (free) and add two injectors and extend couple sensors. Then use a 165 ECM ($50) with the BIN for Australian SBC cars. You will need to tune your PROM (stock is for 5.0) but if you are changing cams, heads, etc you will need it anyway.
thirdgen.org is to TPI like Pennocks is to 2.8 Fieros. Search there and most rave about the AFR 190s for the TPIs. For intakes there is a lot of positives for the Holley mini ram which for $299 (Summit) is a great value. You will need a $170+ fuel rail kit too but still is cheaper than a set of SLP runners and an Edelbrock lower intake. And of course you will need custom PROM to benefit from it  ------------------

Funny thing is that myself and a friend had a "how much money have you spent on your car" talk and we both max'd out at approx $16,000 CDN thats with a full body off paint job, custom suspension, rims and wheels, upgraded brake package, new engine, new tranny, axles, redone interior, stereo and all the little bits inbetween... Where did you spend the other $10,000? |

I can't believe that at all, unless you did all the work yourself. There is no way that you farmed any of it out for that kinda monies, heck it would have cost more than that JUST for all the NEW parts! ------------------

Obviously on things you can't see, but the list would be very long, and doesn't go un-noticed by the Judges in Hot Rod Shows.
