Re: 3.4 top end swap: intake manifold with stock heads.

forced firebird is like the v6 message bord king, if your reading this how many do you post on?

TGO, FTV6, 60*V6, Z24, DomesticCrew, TurboMustangs, F150, LS1, R3vlimited, BimmerFest, United Bimmer, e30tech, ThirdGenTech, 3rdgen, GAGT, e31, BStuff, SpeedTalk, YB, TurboForums, MS, FLGM, GMPT, G6


...I think that's it.

I don't post at all of them all the time, some I've never posted. Almost the same SN at all of them, though.


Hard to say how much HP you are going to have. Going fast is more than HP, it's also how you get it to the ground.

that is very true, you can have 1,000 hp and not get your car to hook up and run against a car with 400 hp that hooks up and they have a better chance of beating you. (and i just threw some numbers out there!!)

Are our cars good at getting it to the ground?

Re: 3.4 top end swap: intake manifold with stock heads.

theyre rear wheel drive, but they arent posi/LSD. unless you have aftermarket.

if you do the swap i suggest you also look into an aftermarket rear end... which is what ill be doing

Re: 3.4 top end swap: intake manifold with stock heads.

Cool. What about an lt1 rear end? And are headers, intake, and ms going to give me 20-30 horses?

Ha i was relly confused, i was looking at the site on my black berry and it wasnt playing the animation in your advitar, it just showed the first frame, so it looked like your a ford fan. you dont think i can get 20 hp?

[vanbibber]

Re: 3.4 top end swap: intake manifold with stock heads.

20 maybe. no more than that. headers are a nice upgrade and so is intake but being on a 3.4 that breathes very little, the gains arent going to be eye popping. id say intake and headers will net you 15hp max, if you can tune it you might be able to acheive a 20hp gain at the wheels total.

Re: 3.4 top end swap: intake manifold with stock heads.

3500 heads will gain you about 30-40hp, more with headers, porting and cam.

I'm expecting at least 250whp after the 3500 top end mod, that's LT1 territory and if I can hook, low 14's in the 1/4.

Re: 3.4 top end swap: intake manifold with stock heads.

i would love lt1 teritory on a v6. and thats before forced induction. i want the 3500 top end bad.
