Haltech with a MAP sensor and all others included is how I roll. This will not happen for at least 4-5 years if then So No rush to find parts for a pipe dream

There was a guy at ZoomFest that was from Ontario Canada. He had a sweet FI throttlebody set-up on his. I do not recall if it was a 12A or 13B.. Stu-tron can probably clarify that. I want to say it was a Holley FI set-up. Probably wrong but that is what is in my head.

Dave,

The guy you are talking about is dj55b on the forum (Sam). He is running Fuji racing TBs and using Megasquirt for fuel/spark. He has a big thread in the 1st gen tech that details all that he has done to the car.

That's him, Thanks Kent. And megasquirt is a nice system as well. More user friendly than the PFC or Haltech I would imagine.

He has SDJ headers too. Best headers ever made. Rotaryshack makes a copy of them now, but be prepared to pay

The race at Road America is on SPEED right now 1 Mazda LMP2 has crashedinto the wall already. 1 still running hard. Acura dominating LMP1. The Viper that my uncle works for just went into the kitty litter.

And those new rules( they just talked about them) are going to be like the "busch" series for each class with the challenge cars. Same cars as the others but with a much more "affordable" budget. I.E.- A LMPChallenge car next year can run a full season with "only" just under 1 million dollars.....ballers!!

Yeah I was watching it in HD, til my dad complained that it was annoying him. This is coming from a guy who can sit through a NASSCAR race.

I agree, but I used to have a '86 Fiero GT. It was like driving a go-kart on steriods. I had upgraded the exhaust. Hi-flow cat. Larger injectors and throttle body. Rechipped ECU. That little bugger would haul ***. It just didn't hold up too well in the crash.......

The 2.8 in the Fieros were almost completely different than the ones in the S-10s. The engine in the Fiero stock made 145hp and 155ftp of torque. The 2.8L in the trucks barely made 125hp. I'll see if I can dig up some pics of my old girl.
