I think the ultimate engine setup for the Fiero was a 3.4L DOHC that was donated from a z34 monte carlo. 215hp, with about 200lbs of torque, if I do remember correctly. Retard the exhaust cams about 13 degrees. Put a better intake... and exhaust *it would have to be custom for the fiero size anyway* and a few other small details and you then have 280hp NA... now, drop a t3/t4 turbo in there with an intercooler... 350hp.... with a 8000rpm rev range... shoot man, it would sound awesome. I was going to do it, but then I realized I'm a teenager with insurrance to pay...

If you really really want to learn a thing or 2 about fieros, go to:
www.fiero.nl It is the ultimate in info for you.
I had this whole stealth intercooler set up designed. It would rock. Man, it almost makes me wish I still had the old ttop. I wouldn't have wanted to mess up that rare type of fiero. My original intentions were to sell that car, to buy a fiero with a sunroof and then with the extra money from the ttop fiero, put it toward engine and suspension parts. But then insurrance went up.. for NO...can I say it again, NO reason.. thanks Statefarm.
. So, I paid 2400 for my car.. fixed it up with about $100. Drove it for about 5000 miles and then sold it on Ebay to a guy in washington state for $3585. I ended up buying my dad's 98 contour se sport mtx...for $2500. (they cut me a pretty darn good deal, I just think they didn't want me to get another fiero.) But I'm pleased with what I have, but I really liked the uniqueness of the fiero. I mean, I nearly wave to all contours.. but most of the times they are old grandmas or just women in their late 40s.. If you saw a fiero GT in good condition driving on the road.. shoot, you could be willing to bet that you could pull over and have a 30 minute conversation...
HAHA, I forgot, I even had a gal, mid twenties, tell me at a gas station that she once had one and really missed it. I chuckled and said yeah, I like it.. it's a good car. So I finish pumping the gas and head in to pay.. and when I'm coming out.. she asks if I'm seeing anyone... now, has your contour ever done that for you?!? The fiero--just sexy!
But like I was saying, 3.4 DOHC! DO it, the torque curve on those things is crazy.. nearly flat.. if I can remember correctly, and the sound, just lovely. Guys put them in the "Ferrari 350 spyder" kits that they put in the car because the 350 stands for 3.5L DOHC, of course.. that's ferrari.. but you get where I'm going with this. Shoot, I have pictures.. let me get them..
Well I couldn't find the pictures, but I do have the wiring harness schematics.
