rebuilt 87fiero Gt 2.8lv6 vs Honda k-20a

[faalvino]

Hi, I own a 1987 fiero Gt with a rebuilt engine including probe forged pistons,Speed-pro plasma moly ring set, Cloyes roller timing chain kit, timing chain damper, performance valve springs, alloy retainers, hardened valve keepers, Competition Cams cam and lifter set and I am turbo charged.I keep being told a K 20 hatch could beat me.
Does anyone know if this is true??????

It isn't much help just to read your mods. Did you ever dyno the engine or the car? A K20 Honda engine outputs around 220hp and the old Honda hatchbacks are usually 2500 lbs or less. So in your 2800 lbs Fiero just going by power vs. weight, you need to be around 240-250hp at the crank (around 210-220 at the rear wheels.)
If the K20 is modded then you need more power.

I am running near 250-265hp at 10psi

If that is the case then you should have no problem.
