My man thanks for more Fiero content you know I'm going to click this and slap that like button as soon as I see it. Thanks Toys4Life C5 have an awesome day keep up the great videos called my mechanics and they said hopefully my Fiero will be done end of this month.... been 2 years I've had mine sitting being worked on, keep enjoying your wonderful car!
@@Toys4Life Oh absolutely I told them I am never going to sell that car ever and I am going to put so many kilometers/miles on it driving it around I am so excited Pontiac Fiero's to me were cars such ahead of their time. Mid engine, affordable, pop up headlights, 2 doors, it just ticks all the boxes for a fun car. I only got to drive mine on 2 short drives before it blew up (long story, water pump didn't work neither did temperature gauge), now I hope with the 3800sc it will stay reliable for a long time. My mechanics re-wired the whole thing too so it won't have old wiring in it. Sorry for the long rant, love Fieros, love Fiero content, keep up the great work. Shout-out to everyone riding around in a Fiero still
My wife has a firebird 3800 thinking about doing the supercharger swap but dam my ls1 Camaro runs 12.40s at 113 but I love the fearo 3800 it's so cool makes me want one great job brother
Good content, I would recommend a smaller pulley instead of more timing. From my experience 20° of timing increases the risk of spinning a rod bearing .
How so, did you get too much knock and it put too much load on the rod bearing. Are you saying I need to call ZZP, order their SC Snout machining tool and a 2.6 pulley? You might be onto something, every single time I have dropped pulley sizes all the way to the 2.8 that I have now, I have gained MPH and lowered ET. Hmmm....
@@Toys4Life my car never knocked on e85 on the 2.8 with a gen v but I was running 18°. Theory is that it's so much advance that it can compress the bearings. Seen it happen on a few of my friends cars. Instead of machining the snout maybe swap to a gen v if you can find one cheap?
Just some Monroe's / Gabriel's in the back, nothing special. In the front I like to remove the shocks and the sway bar to get the weight transfer to the rear and reduce some weight.
Nope, too restrictive and small of a core in my humble opinion. Richard Holdener dyno'd it and gained a whopping 14 HP. He had a similar setup too - so IMO, not worth it. If it was a remote intercooler like my C5 has then HELL YES. No restriction and major temp drop. czcams.com/video/7AhjNay2-bY/video.html
@@Toys4Life Hahahaha man I can just imagine how much fun that must be, am thrilled for you brother. Most people don’t know about the 3.8 from GM. The Fiero with a 3.8 is on my bucket list, thank you for your time, effort and willingness to share. Not like it matters but just wondering what’s the gas mileage with that 3.8 ? Thanks in advance.

That's exciting, I bet you're like a kid at Christmas time waiting with anticipation!

Thanks Jason, appreciate your support man!
OUTSTANDING. Love that car. Fiero that will embarrass super car's at a stoplight. 🙀❤🙄
Appreciate the comment, thanks for checking in!
Didn't realize you were so close to me. I live in the St. Croix area and visit the Cornell area from time to time. I would love to see this car.
Where is the Cornell area?
Very cool !
Had an '84 4 cyl fiero... biggest POS I've ever had... kudos to you for making your fiero a quick little car! 👍🏼
Thank you!
Enjoy all content! Mostly corvette , but that fiero is fast!!!
Thank you, appreciate the comment Daren!
Cool!!!
Thank you very much!
Wow that car is quick! Nice video.
Buddy that car Is awesome nice job
Hey - thanks man - I appreciate it!
My wife has a firebird 3800 thinking about doing the supercharger swap but dam my ls1 Camaro runs 12.40s at 113 but I love the fearo 3800 it's so cool makes me want one great job brother
Nice 60 ft times for a modest tire and low stall converter!
Amazing keep going at it !!!.
Thanks man!
Hey we were there too with the slow camaro!
Hey, I do recall a turbo Camaro are you being facetious, is your Camaro pretty quick?
@@Toys4Life no sir I was there and ran one 12.9 no turbo over here
Well sir, Fieros are quite a bit more rare than Camaros, so if we're out there at the same time again sometime, be sure to say hi!
@@Toys4Life we will say hi, we parked right next to you guys with the blue truck and trailer
@@11ellswrayNow I remember, that's a pretty nice looking third gen!

Hey what shocks and struts are you running at the drag strip?
Just some Monroe's / Gabriel's in the back, nothing special. In the front I like to remove the shocks and the sway bar to get the weight transfer to the rear and reduce some weight.
@@Toys4Life oh interesting, thought that wasn't allowed on the strip. Do you have stock spring rates? Thanks for the reply.
Stock springs but they're cut to lower it a little bit. The rear rides fine, the front ends a little stiff but manageable.
Put a intercooler on it and call it a day

I have an 88 Fiero gt, with the Muncie/Getrag 5 speed. I'm thinking about doing the 3.8 supercharged swap. Will the stock tranny mount up to the 3.8?
I'm not sure what it takes, you can do it but I wouldn't I don't think it's strong enough for most people's use.
Ever think about running e85?
I am running e 85.
God I love that f&_#@ car
Thank you sir!
Most glad to see a Honda CIVIC get whipped like that. Ugly ass civic.
Hey, they're comfortable and efficient but yeah it's fun to beat them up!

You might wanna look into little meth injection. IATs way down as if intercooler. Talk to Julio at Alky control
