My Monte ran about a 14.9 on a good day, that was with an intake, and almost full exhaust (there is almost NO aftermarket either for these) i wish i could find one of those getrag 282 transmissions that thing wouldve been nasty.
i bet that fiero is fast as hell with that motor. what do they weigh?

Nah, I know guys that can swap one of those alternators in 45 minutes. Just have to yank the right front wheel and pull the inner fender plastic.
And a loaded Fiero GT would be at least 5-600 lbs lighter than your Z34 was. Dunno what the 2nd gen prototype Fiero weighed.
