Are you happy with the performance of the engine?

"has any here bought a GM GOODWRENCH 350 (250hp) "

I have a stock one in my 1987 Fiero (MAJOR swap job--), and really like it. I have not used a chassis dyno, or taken it to the track, but it will consistently show around 220 HP on my G-Tech. I would guess that works out to about 270 HP at the crank.

I have 1990 SD TPI, 19.8 #injectors, early tri-y cast iron exhaust manifolds, 3" hi flo cat and Flowmaster. I have burned my own prom to get the tune where I want it, and to pass Smog here in CA.

So far, I have 24k (miles) on it, and it is running better than ever.

How is a Supercharger cheaper than a new engine? I've seen them go for $3 grand and up if I remember correctly.

My GM Goodwrench 350 cost me $700 and change. I was pricing 350's w/ install at a little under $3 grand.

My GM 350 replacement motor runs great, it could use a little more power, but if you put a cam and a set of vortec heads on it you will be set.
