So, Michelle and Damien... Is it faster than a 2.8 ?

Well seeing as it started as a duke, I think the proper question would be to ask, is it faster than a Duke, or well maybe is it faster than a stock Fiero V6. IN which case I think the answer will be a resounding yes.

To be honest, I've only punched it hard twice so far. The reason being the fact that the rear alignment was really off. It was down right scary at speed.
This morning I got the car aligned by a guy I used to deal with a lot. He did a wonderful job. He's old school and really knows what he's doing. It's a totally new car now. I want to drive it a little bit more before I really step on her tail. I did do an 80% run on my way home from the shop and I think it will scare a few 5 Litre Mustangs once I get everything done right. DG |

Well hopefully we end up with some dryer weather so you can play a bit and find out what the car will do.

Come on Dave, the original engine is irrelevant. Anyone who watched Cruising With John Carlo would know that John asked the perfect question.

Now that the car is done and the frezy is over, Michelle and I would like to thank Dave for all he did for us. Yes we paid him, but he went well beyond the value he got.
Thanks man. The bottom line is his efforts helped to save another Fiero from the sh*t pile. I think he desevers a round of applause. (clap clap) We would also like to thank Clint for letting go of a nice engine. Blair, thanks for the goodies and last but not least the good Dr who did his best to try and save the original motor. Thanks John. If I've forgotten anyone forgive me. This car was a badly needed daily driver that we suddenly couldn't insure thanks to aircare. So the stress of the whole situation ruined what would normally have been a fun build. Those listed above made it go rather smoothly. Cheers everyone! Damien and Michelle |

Ya I do have a side line busniess and bills to pay, but I still enjoy helping Fiero people out, espeically when I know it is for a good reason. So congrats on getting all the bugs worked out. I am sure the wife is going to love it more and move as you drive it. |
