      ZZPerformance VS cam 206/216 115LS put it in without any tuning and it doesn't set off any codes, nice little lobe to it though. Good for small boost apps, loves the nitrous. I'll get a N/A dyno on it here soon and some nitrous #'s.

          Horsepower is how fast you hit the Minivan... Torque is how far you take the Minivan with you... :wavey:

            GT2 is usually the recommended stock tune, DD cam. That's what I have and love it :). GT1 is more of a streetable; IMO, the GT2 is totally streetable (again, I have it and DD before I spun a bearing); it may throw a code, but get it tuned and you'll fix that.

            Not sure about the 3.4 though :(. Although, while I was looking for mine, I did come across a few for the 3.4, so they are out there.

                  youre probably going to lose some gas mileage (1-3 mpg) puttin' around town... when you start getting into it youre really going to see the gas disappear from your tank

                      Right. I only got to go through 1 1/2 tanks before I spun a bearing in my car. I pulled 24MPG, mostly highway with me getting on it. That's with stock internals, stock tune, 3.73's and a 5-speed. Should be better once I get it running again and tuned :)

                          I don't know; I've never owned a 3.4, nor have any idea what the effects of each cam are...you just asked what cams are available for the 3.4. You are going to have to do the research on camming 3.4s, then make your own decision.

                            Do you want to go turbo, super, or nitrous in the future? If so.. get a power adder cam.

                              If you are going to get a cam, trust me.. it will cost alot.. sure you may not have to pay $1,000 instantly.. but $200 here, $100 there, $30 there.. etc.. adds up VERY fast.. I would have been done with my cam/heads/intakes by now if I had good cash flow :D

                              So since you are spending all of that money, you might as well invest in HPTuners or a DHP. Hell I have a close to stock car, intake/exhaust, and my car drives WAY different from stock after tuning. You can gain a good 20hp or maybe more (depending on area and fuel used) just from a good tune.. Like I can always get 93 octane so I am going to advance my timing as much as possible because I'm staying N/A.
