or sell it and get one of those ls1s that are poppin up in the 6k range

bubba428 02-15-2007 07:09 PM

i don't want to sell it...is it that hard to understand...i want to fix it with more efficent parts...

Mike 02-15-2007 07:27 PM

sorry, just speaking from my experience of owning a 95 3.4 car.........carry on.

btw what are you time/power goals with this car.

bubba428 02-15-2007 09:02 PM

i'm trying to put up at least 250-300 rwhp...just a goal thoi expect that range but am trying for more

JSPERFORMANCE 02-16-2007 08:17 AM

v6 = spend $10k and barely make it to the 12's
v8 = spend $10k and throw down some 10 second passes

I know it is such a hard decision!!

bubba428 02-16-2007 09:56 AM

u just don't get it...its not about how fast it goes...its something totaly diferent...i'm just doing it for fun...and this post isn't about an engine swap its about a rebuild...so unless you have anything helpfull to say about what i'm doing...SHUT THE PHUCK UP!

Like Justin said, I know Andrew destroyed his, Lance did too, Path did I think... off the top of my head, I know Malice still has one and TH does.. I believe they're using g-force parts though. May be mistaken, this is all off the top of my head.

:lol: I sure hope you're including the price of the car at least...


and have fun having the same setup as 84750724569427858934658370672064574 other v8s in the 10s.... that same old crap is boring. Too easy.

JSPERFORMANCE 02-16-2007 04:50 PM

OK so you will be just like a retard... Slow, but different..
Sorry, I just feel that I would rather go faster and waste less time and money getting there.. To each his own, good luck on your journey of becoming retarded...

Kasey, how many ten second cars have you ever built since it is soooo easy??? Until you have done it dont trivialize the task.

JSPERFORMANCE does 10 damage to Savage Messiah :moon:

Mike 02-16-2007 11:15 PM

to everyone saying "its different" well so is crossdressing, sometimes its different for a reason....

bubba428 02-17-2007 09:54 AM

there is minimal to no aftermarket for the 3.4...the 3.8s even have toys then can get...but there is nothing but a cam for the 3.4...so to make that car go fast it takes a lot of knowledge and the perfect combination of tolerences...kasey is right...making a v8 go fast id one thing...but the v6s we run...is a whole nother monster

Savage_Messiah 02-17-2007 03:52 PM

don't get me wrong, in the future I'll have a v8... but for now, this is much more fun to me.

bubba428 02-17-2007 03:54 PM

exactly

Wa to twist words around.... how many 10 seconds V8s are there?

...and how many 10 second V6s?

bubba428 02-17-2007 04:03 PM

well...if you know what your doing...u can spend the same amout of money on a v6 as a v8 and go just as fast

JSPERFORMANCE 02-18-2007 09:51 AM

Yeah OK

for how many passes?

NJSPEEDER 02-18-2007 10:41 AM

there are plenty of fast V6 powered cars out there and no reason to believen this couldn't be the foundation of another one. if you prefer V8's, good for you. V6's have been proven to perform enough times that i can't see any need to trivialize these efforts either.

Mike 02-18-2007 11:22 AM

they are being trivialized because he wants to build a "fast" v6 and stay on a budget, and he has changed his mind more times in the last week than wayfast.....first its twin turbo and nitrous now its na, and now his main goal is to pull wheels.....

if you just wanna pull wheels buy my car, it does it on a bone stock motor.

bubba428 02-18-2007 04:28 PM

that was a goal i knew i wouldn't acive...now the heads are coming from a junkyard..i'm going to clean the up same with the intake...its kinda hard to fathom till u see one...with the heads and intake its been proven the 3.4 can take a stock Z...i'm adding a cam springs and lifters to the mix
