I rearly post, but investing in water injection is a great investment to getting lower ET's plus its benefits.

Thanks for the comment! Water meth is huge with centri setups (where E85 is not plentiful) but seems like it has been tried but does not seem to work as well as either an intercooler with 93 octane or E85 for these M90 cars. I do not have first hand experience with it though as E85 is nearby. Can anyone add to this with more factual info than I was able to provide?

I'm not working on one. But there is one here that was paused in 2015 by someone which has had a lot of parts accumulated that I need to start assembling: rebuilt short block, worked heads, LS7 lifters, upgraded cam, Fieroguru brakes, gen V charger, GTU or GTZ Getrag.

Get in touch with Darkhorizon (Scott) . He holds the record for the best 1/4 mile time at 9.87@147 MPH His Fiero is a 3800, streetable and I don't believe he invested big bucks.

Yeah, I enjoyed his videos along with DimeMachines's. DimeMachine, your vids are informative and well edited/presented. The quick thing I should do is drop in one of the complete SC engines that are here already and focus on the new engine on the side.

1. Thanks for the comment. I enjoyed building the Fiero with the help of the info that was published over the years on this forum especially by Darthfiero, DarkHorizon, Justin Bart and many others. Without them sharing info I would not have taken the time to be a pioneer.

2. I would do the sc 3800 swap. Loads of fun and reliable. I am ready for more HP but struggle with going turbo because you just start to get into its power capabilities and then the tranny (4t65e HD) starts to become the weak link.

Cheers!
