Ummm.... If you find a "tuner" for the 3.1 motor, let me know... Because cars that are "Chipped" cant have a "tuner"...

**AZ3.8Camaro** · 02-15-2006, 01:02 PM

You can use a LOT of different standalones.
Megasquirt would work too.
AEM in 6 cyl mode would work fine, if you make a harness for your car.

**AZ3.8Camaro** · 02-15-2006, 01:05 PM

If the Intimidator monte made 297HP at 6000RPM with 13.0:1 on a regrind cam, then someone could make 350 at probably 7000 rpm with a big *** cam, and more extensively ported heads.

Uh - just how many engines have you built?

You are getting good advice here - the choices you make in compression and cam timing are conditioned by whether or not you are going to have an engine operating under boost or not. You have to decide before you start, you do NOT build a high compression conventional engine and later decide to turbo or blow it.

If you think otherwise, with respect, you don't know what you are talking about.

What's with your 'lambo' tag - more daydreaming? ;) I somehow doubt it is because you own a Lamborghini......

[/QUOTE]dude, you build the engine because if you build it, it will HANDLE more boost. a stock engine will only take so many pounds of boost from a turbo. if a person plans on running 20-30psi of boost, that engine really needs to be beefed up, DUH.

don't say **** like "you're dumb" or "you don't know what you're talking about". we're talking about cars here people, there is more than one way to skin a cat. where in ANY of my other posts did i insult someone? if you're going state that you disagree with someone, do it politely, or keep your ****ING MOUTH SHUT *******!!!!!!!!!!!!! hell viper, you're even a mod and you're in here, a camaro commnunity, trying to make a member, someone who loves camaros very much, look like a dumbass, in yet you got some smart *** comments. i think i feel differently about this forum now.

Well Mr Lambo wannabe, I agree that some take a slightly impolite tone, but when one sees a lot of kids that don't have much of a clue about what they are talking about and that stick to what they think they know in the face of wiser more experienced people hinting that maybe they are out in left field, some people lose patience pretty quickly.

Picking a power output almost at random, not based on anything much other than wishful thinking, and insisting that you can do a build that requires 12-13:1 compression and THEN add a turbo (hint - you'd have to toss your pistons and camshaft away to do that) doesn't make you any points here.

We were all young and inexperienced once - hang around, and say less than you listen and you might learn something.

**97rs4life** · 02-16-2006, 10:01 PM

its just that you are thinking beyond reality with your car and haven't researched what it takes to build an engine. You can't just throw parts at a car and think you will automatically have 500 horsepower. There is a lot more to it than that.

The comments you have been getting from members come from years of people new to the modding world coming up with crazy ideas that just aren't realistic do to lack of research into the subject matter. It is seen a lot on the boards here and people are just grounding people that come here and make them think realistically.

We are trying to help you out by lowering your goals to something reachable. ;) Now you just got to do the research behind building a solid 3.4l engine and you will be well on your way.

i'm also not the one cussing and putting a overload on the filter....

i can't spell, i dont care.... shot me everyone knows i can't spell and they all got use to it hell i have some treads that only 1-2 people know what i'm saying.... [img]graemlins/rock.gif[/img]

I can't let you bs member if someone did a search and found this they would be trying to run high CR and boost

that is why i speak out

**AZ3.8Camaro** · 02-17-2006, 03:02 AM

.........gets lock out of pocket.....
........waits patiently........

Keep it clean... Cleaner than it has been.

I don't *think* lambo meant build a high CR motor, then boost it... I think he meant to just put forged internals in it, then boost it. I dunno though.
