BUT more power to ya if you wanna make the 3.4 fast. Its cool to be different. I'll build a turbo V6 4th gen eventually, but it'll be a tad more serious, backhalved and all.

im not saying a 13.5 is amazing -- i have friends with v8s and a couple with LS1's and i know they can do faster (even have a friend with a vette). but currently -- he is the fastest 3.4 that i know of. theres a lot of potential and i aim to be wakin people up to that. already trying to push people into updating their motors. the stuff that the 3.4 comes with sucks massive ass. if you guys dont mind ill post up my article on the 3.4 that i wrote and you can have a read
btw -- not sure what you mean by "backhalved" - thats a new one for me, ill have to go look it up. in terms of building this thing for power, yea ive got a list of go fast parts that is as long as it is expensive. turbos are definitely in the works for me along with teh megasquirt that i gotta splice in and tune. hopefully i can get better than a 10:1 AF ratio... honesty the 3.4 is like...seriously neglected in terms of what it came with in 1993-1995 - the Grand Am motor has way more time and attention put into it (for starters the 3.4L RWD came with 16# injectors, the 2000 Grand AM GT comes with 22# injectors... cast iron 3.4L RWD heads flow like ... 118/130 (in/ex) while the aluminum heads from the GAGT flow 200/180
unported (huge difference)) -- its just about discovering what GM left out and correcting it
i still havent ported and polished the heads or intake yet, thats coming soon. also need to figure out how to get the LT1 TB i have laying around to mate up with my 3x00 intake manifold. Car really needs more airflow. and a tune..dont forget the tune
just for s&g:
my lat dyno run
p.s. i plan on buying a 2009 camaro v8 (i know ill get flamed by someone for that but again, meh.) and keep the v6 as well.
edit: ahh...i gotcha now. i wouldnt go to all the trouble of futzing with the back of the car -- run it like it was built. im building a car that will work on the street, and that works for me. doesnt have to be a 1/4 mile monster or a autocross superstar either -- just has to perform the way i want it to. i take it you guys are big on racing here? lol..
