3800 s/c fiero swap

[Hawkins04]

im looking of trying to get a fiero in the 11's to low 12's. i have been out of the 3800 world for awhile now and need some advice. im thinking or doing a 3.0-3.2 pulley, intercooler, headers, 160-180 stat, ported heads maybe bore it .20 over? can anyone help me i dont know what supporting mods i would need with that pulley or if there is a easier way to go?

thanks Brandyn

cam, intercooler, injectors, headers, ported everything. slap a 2.8 on and call it a day.

 

[Hawkins04]

yea injectors i would use 42.5 ones as for ported everything? and i am worried about KR i know it can be bad in these motors

 

[TorqueAutoMotiv]

Yea a well built m90 build you get get into 10's easy

 

[gtpinsc]

ported throttle body... ported heads... ported blower..... KR is easily managed on these motors with enuff money.

 

[Hawkins04]

a northstar throttle body i know bolts up is that good? and they do run 10's easy but this will be a car i will drive often not a dd but pretty often

nitrous or turbo

 

[Hawkins04]

i dont really want to go turbo if i have to go turbo to get the car in the 11's then i will stay with the s/c. i love the s/c i had a 3800 s/c 04' GTP comp G before i got a 06' GXP

Maybe a fiero will be my next build who needs an old school

 

[Hawkins04]

what kind of cam would be recommended? for the build?

 

[lambokit]

Oh yeah!!! That's what I'm doing now. Well with a different body that is. I really want to get this kit done... But I want to take my time and do it right the first time. I need to update some pics. But it's still gonna take a while.

Depends how much power you want and how big your budget is

let me know when you get some pics up and would like to have some fiero guys chime in here i have seen some on here before. i dont want to radical of a cam just a mild one

 

[TorqueAutoMotiv]

l i dont want to radical of a cam just a mild one

Im running a s1x cam and love it
im guessing my build with meth a 3.0 pulley and good tune could run in a fiero into low 11's high 10's

 

[Hawkins04]

i dont know anything about meth i have heard good and bad things about it tho

 

[TorqueAutoMotiv]

Im about to get a meth setup Ive heard its all in the tune

 

[Hawkins04]

yea do i need to go meth for a mid 11's to low 12's or is it one of those better safe than sorry things?
