tuning 3.4

[tealfirebird94]

im wanting some type of tunner htp etc. to do my self.. anyone have one?

[vanbibber]

there isnt one. you options are pretty limited with the 3.4 i think fast chips is the only way to go.

[tealfirebird94]

well there used to be.. i was jus wondering 4 the people who have 1 would want to sell.. and i got a question 4 u. y is a 93 formula with the lt1 6spd more than 8 tenths of a secon slower than yours.

[vanbibber]

dunno bad driver?

where did you get that info from anyways?


anyways.. its pretty hard to find anyone that is selling anything like a hypertech. IMO your better of going through fastchips

[tealfirebird94]

all the sites. here i copy pasted it off one
1993 Pontiac Firebird Formula 6.1 14.7

I think the 93's got slower times because they had different ratio's in the tranny as well as the rear. GM revised them for '94 and it seems like times improved.

thanks for takin up for me on that.. i do know what i am talking bout. i know im a kid but i know quite a few things bout cars

[vanbibber]

they did have 2 different 6speeds. the M28 had 2.73s and the M29 had 3.23s. so even if the formula came with the M28 with 2.73s it would run the same times i do. gm didnt revise anything about the tranny. the problem was that borg warner didnt have a 6 speed ready for the lt1 so gm bought trannys from chrysler.

that 14.7 you posted about is either a misprint or there is a bad driver involved. i garuantee that if you found the trap speed for that car it would be somewhere around 97-100mph to prove what im saying. i know exactly where you got that information from and not all of that list they have there is right.

93 speed density lt1s are usually the fastest and strongest in stock form of all lt1s.

i know a guy with a 93 formula M6 and he ran his when it was stock to a 14.0-14.4 @ 97-99 pretty consistent.

i also know what im talking about. [img]smile.gif[/img]

by the way the M29 had a simalar gear setup to the c5 z06s

MegaSquirt is what i'm using

I was going by information on f-body.org about the trans gears and the rear end gears.

And here's where I looked up times.

the second link is just an updated version of this

he just adds in new cars as they come out.

[FunkZ]

I think you're right though, even different gear ratios shouldn't account for that much time difference.

It's probably data gathered from various magazine test articles, and each magazine's test is going to have widely varied results.

[vanbibber]

pretty much.

Does texas speed do mail order tunes for 3.4s?
