Tech Tips, Tech Questions / Re: Want 20 HP the cheap way?

Flyboy81,
Are you offering to do this swap? If so, what's the cost?
Does this upgrade improve mileage? If so, then this is the Holy Grail of upgrades. Better power, better driveability, and better mileage.
Is there any way to put DIS on an otherwise stock 2.8 with this ECM? I'm tired of replacing pickup coils.

For those wanting a twisty ride through the mountains, I have a route I prefer over the one through Rome, which can get congested at rush hour. I've been driving back & forth to Huntsville a lot lately, and this is my preferred route.
From I-75 N:
Take exit 306 and turn left onto GA-140 W
Go 16.0 mi and turn right onto GA-1 N/Martha Berry Hwy/US-27 N
Go 13.9 mi and turn left onto GA-48 W
Go 23.0 mi and turn right onto AL-117 N/AL-7/US-11 N
DON'T MISS THIS NEXT TURN
Turn quickly back left (about 0.1 mi) onto AL-117 N/AL-40 W
Go 23.9 mi. Beware of the 30 MPH left turn on this leg. You CANNOT take it at 60 like you'd think. It's tight and off camber.
Turn right onto AL-35 N/Veterans Dr
Go 3.4 mi and turn left onto US-72 toward Huntsville
Go 37.8 mi and US-72 turns into I-565W
Go 7.3 mi and take exit 14B for AL-255 N/Research Park Blvd
Go 5.7 mi and turn left onto AL-53 N/Jordan Ln
Go 10.6 miles to the Fiero Factory on right
This route takes you through a few little towns, but nothing that backs up like Rome. The worst holdup I typically experience on this route is sometimes getting stuck behind slow traffic, which can happen with any of the non-interstate routes. For some reason, an 18-wheeler will sometimes think this route's a good idea.
I generally get gas at the Racetrack at I-75 exit 277. It seems like all the gas after that point is more expensive, until you get to the Kangaroo just a couple of miles after turning onto US-72. The distance between these two stations is about 120 miles.
I don't know if I'll be able to make the meet. I may be driving to Atlanta as you guys are driving to Huntsville. If you pass a white Formula going the other way, wave.

Thanks for the route info. I put that one in my GPS. I may give it a try.
My 2.8 is still running good. But if I decide to replace it, I'll probably go with a 3.4. I'll keep them in mind.
Thanks.

General Discussion / Best Fiero friendly route from Atl to Huntsville
« on: December 05, 2009, 09:58:01 am »
I'm going to be making a lot of trips in the near future to Huntsville. So, the questions is, what's the best route? I've tried going through Birmingham, through Rome, and through Summerville. The biggest problem with the Summerville route is too many 18 wheelers, and not enough passing opportunities, but it's the shortest, and has better winding roads than the others. So far, I like the Summerville route the best. Rome had too much congestion. The other route under consideration is through Chattanooga. Anyone got another one they'd recommend?

The weather was perfect. The traffic wasn't too bad. Not too many slow vehicles, and the one's we did come across usually pulled off first chance they had. No wrecks. No spin outs. No breakdowns. Nobody ran out of gas. No tickets. So all in all, I'd call it a successful event. We even saw a Ferrari in Highlands.
