If everyone really wants to put this debate to bed (rather than continue this particular pissing contest), why not make it $250 and a public acknowledgment of the other guy's engine's superiority?
I'm not very impressed with the numbers that I've seen from most, if not all, SBC Fieros. Where the fault lies, I don't know. I'm sure the SBC Fieros are plenty fast (and fun to drive), but there is a lot of room for improvement (from what I've seen).

You know, you better get used to it or stay away from these kinds of threads. DH says in one thread that he's not into drag racing & then in the next post says he lives a 1/4 mile at a time. He can't even keep his own story straight. He has been bashing for several months, throwing in a jab every chance he gets. For the most part, I've ignored him but just like Shaunbag DH never gives up. He couldn't care if he's right or wrong, it's the jab that he lives for. Just like Shaunbag, he can't keep his story straight from one post to the next & no one asks him for proof of any of his statements. When Shaunbag was on this Forum he was just like DH. He went from thread to thread throwing insults around to start flame wars so the threads would go down in flames. If you have any doubts about that, just go to the trashcan & start reading just about any thread in there that's over 3 years old. So, just like Shaunbag was getting when he was here, Everytime DH posts the hate, he's gonna get it back in kind.
As far as Shaunbag is concerned, it couldn't matter if I ignore him or not. He's been posting his hate on the Forums for several years. Before that he was just EMailing his BS directly to me. There are at least 20 popular members on this Forum, both customers & non customers of mine, who have received hateful, cussing sometimes even racist emails from this punk. He sends these messages to members all over the country, Cliff has even rec'd. some. He's even putting the hate on a few people who live real close to him, that aren't even customers of mine. How can he not think that someone might just drive 20 miles to slap him up the side of the head, like his parents should have done.
The funniest thing of all is that there are a few members here who pretend to be some of us then turn around & post hate on RFT in support of Shaunbag. Those people don't even know him, they have no freaking clue what this dic head is really like. He's never posted his own dyno slips, or Time slips, never video taped his own car on a Dyno or drag strip. Yet, he demands that everyone else does it.
You see he doesn't care if he's right or wrong or if his BS can be backed up with proof. He's not about proof, he's not about facts, it's all in the bashing, it's all in the hate.
You see, I could have taken a car that made 500hp to FL & Shaunbag would have still been posting his hate.
Yes, that's was my 88 car on the Dyno & Yes, I was a bit disappointed in the V-8 Fiero I took to Florida. I had the engine built by a disabled Viet Nam Veteran that I met at a Swap Meet. As it turned out, he didn't build it as good as I had thought he would. He died about a month after building the engine, so I never got a chance to confront him about the engine build. I'm not sure if I'd have confronted him even if has was still alive, I still like him & enjoyed the hours we were able to spend together.
The car only had about 100 miles on it before we left for FL & it was driven all the way down there and all the way back. On the trip down a few flaws on the engine were exposed. One, it didn't make as much power as I had asked this guy to build to so the big BG racing carb that I had bought for it turned out to be way too much carb. & fouled the plugs. Two, the roller rockers he used were used & the Locks on them kept coming loose. So once on the way down & once on the way back we had to stop & adjust them. But it still got real good mileage when it was in 6th gear.
So the car was a bit out of it on the Dyno & I'll never again pay someone to build an engine when I can buy a new crate engine & know what I'm getting. But this isn't about that car. It's about some 20something kid that's still working nights at Taco Bell & has nothing else to do but put the hate on others.
He has another video where he puts the Hate on Tom Corey with a mocking video of Tom's Dyno run. Tom never bought a thing from me, he bought the car with the engine already in it & has done a lot with it since. Tom does a lot in the Florida Fiero community & is a big part in putting together the Daytona show each year. Tom is a dear friend of mine, respected & liked by everyone in FL. Well the video wasn't enough, Shaunbag had to also send him hateful EMails. Shaunbag:, you prikk, what did this guy that's old enough to be your grandfather, do to you?
Didn't your parents teach you anything?
Shaunbag, I know you're gonna have a little pussy fit over there in your sewer. But be aware that even the few idiots that still support you, are going to wake up someday & realize what a real jerk, you really are.
KMA Shaunbag !!!

Looks like a few more hp could have been squeezed out of it judging by the black smoke comming from the exhaust. Looks like it was running a little rich. Did the dyno operator offer to tweak anything or was it strictly a dyno run to see how much power it was making?

What are you running?
You have to be a miracle worker to get a TPI sbc to run 120mph in the 1/4.

Not to take this thread in a different direction, but there was a comment made by DH on pages 5 & 6 in my thread that I took as a challenge. I said I would race him for the bragging rights. No money involved. I even made an offer that if something happened to his car I would tow it back to my shop and get him up and running again. He Declined!!!
He has no intention on backing up anything he says. He is just here to cause problems in my opinion.

The Dyno operator was Shaunbags buddy, he wasn't about helping anyone dial the cars in. The ventillation system in there sucked, you couldn't hardly breath.
The Dyno day was setup by the Daytona show people. It was supposed to be fun event to cap off the Daytona weekend. Shaunbag didn't dyno his car but the Dyno operator allowed him to walk around taking videos that would later turn that fun even into He77 for those that attended for the year since.
I know that you're one of Shaunbags nutswingers, Shaunbag posted on RFT, a few minutes ago, that someone should go after that timeslip & here you are swinging right along.
I can't go to Daytona this year because of my wifes' health. But, I'll tell you, the BS that your buddy Shaunbag is into is going to destroy that show if you don't get him under control soon.
You keep carrying his torch & you'll see.

So, did anybody take pics of Shaunbag's 2.8 and what excuse(s) did he give for a "no-show" on his car?

Arch man, chill out, RFT isn't shauns forum, he's just a frequent contributer. crzyone was talking about cars, I don't think he was attacking you. Also it doesn't say much for drama that you troll RFT waiting for yourself to come up. Who gives a **** , is shaun really affecting your business, I doubt it. The people who want V8s come to you and don't subscribe to the drama. Seriously can we get over the freaking daytona thing, first the dyno was rigged, then the car was bad, then it was rigged again, then it was air/fuel, then it was shauns jedi magic. It was a bad day, be it humidity, be it temp, whatever, the numbers were real, but thats what a dyno is for, I know archie went home and improved on the Formula, as did all the other V8 owners who dyno'ed low, thats kind of the point of dyno tuning. Seriously, lets move on. V8s are cool, just not for everyone, that streetfire video is olddddddddddd. yeah its a bashing video, but its not fake, want to prove the 'nutswingers' wrong? Go post a FieroX rivaling dyno run. Harping on the same low result videos isn't going anywhere. All this bullshit has made me not want to buy V8 parts or 3800SC parts from anyone and I am doing my swap off the forums, on my own. Jesus people get lives, its the internet, why are we taking life so seriously.
PSA:
You want a V8 buy one, you want a 3800SC buy one.

Turbo 3.4... but close. Go on RFT, dyno charts aren't hard to find on his car. It was like 230-250hp IIRC, supposidly this spring he will be back with more.
