So you may have asked why the hell is Smittro building an engine with no aftermarket, and missing 2 cylinders???

This is just one reason why..

"It makes a solid 430HP at the rear wheels at 12psi with zero knock retard on 91 octane pump gas."

That be why..

I guess it's on a fiero body?
I saw one in person and it looked good from 10' away. Took a look inside and man that fiero interior is fugly. Looks like he did a better job on the interior

Yup that's a Fiero underneath..

It's all about the money.. Lots of folks spend a ton on the body kit then have nothing left to finish them with.. Just as you described, nice kit, good fit and finish.. Then the inside is all 80's Fiero

From what I gather he's all stock bottom end, and the motor is used too.. But man it puts some pretty good numbers down.. He could have easily spent the coin all on the motor and had even more to put to the road.. But with no aftermarket and factory parts are on the pricey side it would'nt surprise me if he started running out of money in the end.. Reason I say that is, all that time and money invested and he did'nt build headers.. That engine is just being choked for even with a spool.. He's on one pipe and 2 different manifolds so he's loosing as he gains too..

Glad you like.. I'm thinking he prolly could have went with a spec 1-2 and used the extra cash to build headers or better flowing mani's.. Car does'nt weight anything so a spec 3 maybe a touch much.. But to each thier own.. I like it tho because it's powered by a spooled TDC mostly..
