We did an engine upgrade about a month ago using a 4.9L Cadillac engine with the 4T60E transmission.

The engine looks like it belongs there especially since we used the Cadillac airbox with a K&N filter ducted to the side inlets

It's a subtle change when viewed through the hatch and decklid

The car dyno'd out at 161.2 HP and 241.7 ft-lbs of torque raw.

It was a very hot day when we ran it on the dyno so it needed to be corrected for temperature

jstricker's 1985 Pontiac Fiero


The corrected power was 172.5 hp and 258.6 ft-lbs torque at the rear wheels which is about 302 ft-lbs torque and 201.8 hp at the crank

The car now has neck snapping torque off the line and ran a best of 14.81 at 96 mph, but it was hitting the rev limiter and we had to back off to make it shift. We have a new chip coming and it should put it into the mid 13's.

Outstanding job on that Finale Kit ! I own a Fiero GT and the Finale is the only kit I would consider if I were to give my car a total makeover. The various complete Ferrari/Lambo conversion kits out there can be well done, but there's just something a little phony about masquerading a Fiero around as an Italian exotic, with some of them even displaying counterfeit Ferrari/Lambo badges. At least the Finale is an original design. IMHO, the Ferrari F355 style noses are about the only mod that improves upon the stock Fiero's basic looks, short of what you've down with your ride. High Points: Great color! Metallics look good on Fieros and kits because they reduce the impression the body is made of composites somewhat ( although that could just be psychology affecting me.... the casual observer wouldn't know if it were steel, aluminum, cardboard, whatever ). Those Tail lights ! Huge improvment over the design the kit came with. What would I Change ? : I would have tried the side window scoops in a piano-black, mirror-finish sort of treatment to blend in with the side glass as much as possible. The painted scoops upset the visual flow, IMHO. Overall: A stunning car. Enjoy the drive.
