that's all i wanted to know...and i was gonna say thank you til that "search. helps." smart azz crap...some people how a lil ego prob...i didn't ask for you to be smart with me...but at least i got my question answered...smart or not

This is such a hard question to answer..

There are so many variables.. cam specs.. head port work..

And.. not many people DO heads/cam over here.. or on any v6 f-body for that matter.. its not like on ls1tech where you can get accurate estimates..

most everything regarding gains here or on any v6 board will mostly be a guestimate.

that's cool magnus...i understand that completely, 3.4's a rarity to find internal work done to them...i just wanted an estimate...you know, in the range of 50-100 or something like that...i hopefully will have this done in the next month or so and let you all know how much it increased when i get it re-dynoed...
Thanks

Okay, I'll try giving this one a shot. First, check out Nu-Tek Motorsports (sorry, don't have the link). Nick & his boys have been doing some nice 3.4 work for the past couple of years, and a few members on here have some of his stuff (Tiago, just to name one off the top of my head). I think he's waiting on a custom-grind cam at this point, as well. I don't believe he has any dyno #'s at this time, though. A few members have recently been discussing the cam that Crane makes for the 3.4L, but there are mixed opinions on whether the cam is much better than stock. Again, dyno #'s would be useful to see what kind of gains or losses are incurred there. Depending upon the cam specs, you'd want to get the computer re-programmed to better suit the new cam. Also, as for the heads, you can try a set of heads from a 2.8L Fiero, but I'm not sure if you'll see anything more than what you would stock (not sure what the diff's are, just know people have tried them in the past). Nu-Tek has heads for their 3.4 package, so you might want to check & see what they can do for you. Lastly, if you do all this, I'd look at ditching the stock plenum and pick up one such as the Nu-Tek piece w/the LT1 TB. Seems to be one of the weak points of the 3.4........Hope this is more helpful to you.

What nu tek and where can i find theree site

[Fin]

Nu-Tek used to be NRT. They also do some nice work for V8 F-bodies, so they shouldn't be hard to find.

EDIT: Found the link for you guys Nu-Tek
