Excellent, what fun is it being boss if you can't abuse authority every now and then?
Besides, we know you're just taking it out on the new guy because joey makes you do stuff like that at home...

Dave, what do you think of tasteful "Haus of Guru" decals for the cars? They could read: Haus of Guru, Lakewood NJ or just, "Haus of Guru" Maybe a phone number?
I'm almost universally against posting advertisements all over a street car, but I'd rock a Haus decal on mine, maybe an inch or two high at the bottom of the back window in blue. I like to give credit where credit is due (subtly, but importantly).
I dunno, just a Lunesta thought, It took me an hour or something to post this because I am literally misspelling almost every word and forgetting what we were talking about. I think it is

Was your gold 3800 swap fiero ever taken to the dyno after the second round of mods? I'm planning on doing some things to mine and am curious how your group of mods worked together on the torque curve. When I looked back the only thing I noticed was that the ported blower you had done by someone else was only putting out 5psi, then you did it yourself and never managed to dyno it. Thanks and keep up the great work .

I do have an idea for a logo that I am currently working on.....I don't think I'll use Joey's finger in it cause it might get me in more fights than I am used to.
As for the dyno....I did get it dyno'ed but the tune wasn't right and it only made 20 more whp. I have the tune dialed in perfectly now and I am taking a LS3 swap over to the dyno shop on Tuesday and I might get my gold GT redone to see the numbers. I can also play with the pulleys and see how they react. The LS3 swap is in my shop for work not related to Archie's swap. We just performed some other mods for the owner....not engine related.

Dave's 1988 GT series III swap is ready to roll out of the Haus. Dave has not yet seen this car in person. He purchased it in Florida and Joey hauled it from there to our shop in NJ.
Here is a rough build sheet: 2006 3800 series III mated to a 2006 4t65e-HD. Mosty stock except custom P-logs made "in Haus" to be able to drop the exhaust down the front side of the engine to allow for a catalytic converter. Logs are Jet-Hot coated. Flowtech Afterburner muffler and stock Fiero GT tips. ZZP fuel logs-returnless style with fuel pressure regulator incorporated into fuel filter. Low mount Grand Prix alternator with poly dog bone. Digital cruise control. side mount hidden ignition system with custom wires. custom a/c hose with GP pressure sensor.
We also did some suspension mods including lowering springs in the rear and RD lowering ball joints in the front. Rear suspension links and arms. Four wheel alignment.
We logged 500 miles on it without a hiccup....other than a defective new tire. Here are a few pics....
As promised...Joey signed the pcm after the wiring was completed.....

I like that your wife Joey is signing off her finished work on the ECM. At least the customer knows who did it. Plus it has to be certified ISO 9001.

Dave the car looks great, I can't wait to get out and pick it up. I hope to be out next week either Wed. or Thurs, sometime in the late afternoon. For the last few months it's seemed like a distant thing but now it's real and right now. I'm really looking forward to meeting the whole crew and seeing the Haus in person.

I had no trouble haulin troyboy's choptop, though it did get quite a few looks. One car pulled up along side me and honked their horn so they could give me a thumbs up for having such a beautiful fiero on my trailer. It was a nice ride to and from that part of New York, and an absolute pleasure to meet Troy.

At the Haus, we do fix or modify already built swaps. Joe brought me his GT to have the engine bay cleaned up, wiring harness repaired, ignition coils relocated, supercharger ported, larger throttle body, pcm retune, new a/c hose, and a bunch of other little repairs done. Here are a few before pics....
and the "in progress" after pictures.
We have had the car about a week now. The valve covers were removed and powdercoated "In Haus". The blower was ported and serviced "In Haus' as well. We expect to have the car completed in about another week.
As promised...Joey signed the pcm after the wiring was completed.....
