Yeah that 3.4L DOHC TURBO makes 30HP MORE more than this swap...

SBC is OLD TECHNOLOGY!

Dont feed me some line about "all that torque!!" Fiero is so fucking LIGHT it doesnt NEED 400ft-lbs....

That much torque breaks stuff and kills your 60 foots....wheel spin doesnt make you go faster.

Well, sbc is old tech, but you can build it pretty much any spec's you want. TPI is definitly not the best design out there.

And that 3.4l DOHC turbo isn't exactly perfect. Need I mention an air:fuel of 10:1? Raise that to 13 and he'll find 20-30 more whp. After riding in it, our LT1 would have been a joke next to that Z34. A friend of mine from works owns a 2001 SS with the SLP options, 335hp, and the turbo DOHC would beat it from a roll. Barely, but it would.
