1988 Pontiac Fiero Formula review from North America
"Amazing"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I used NOS on the engine after 170000 thousand miles at the dyno shop. It runs 307 HP at 4700 RPM and 337 FT. of Torque at 4500 RPM.
When I got the car it had bad brakes and I have yet to replace the rotors, so I need info on a good upgrade.
General comments?
When I got the Fiero it ran great. So I added some NOS to the mix up to get a few extra punch. So off to the speed shop I went. Got a port injection system One (1) fogger injector set at 45 HP hit, but it was not enough so I went out and drilled out the jets till I got a hit that would set me back in my seat. Took it down to the dyno shop and ran the numbers, but had a NOS back fire on shifting points. Giving me the impression that I was a little fuel rich so I changed the fuel jet and ran it again. Well blew the engine, not good, so I have 2 3.4L twin dual cam engines I will be putting in.
