    My 3.4 manual runs dead even with a 3.1 auto

    My 1994 camaro 3.4 gets smoked by just about every single import on the road with a 4cyl and an intake and aftermarket muffler.

    I recently raced my buddy with a 1994 olds cutlass supreme with a 3.1 auto. We stayed dead even all the way to 100. My car has some engine mods (cai,exhaust)and it runs 100%.

    I guess the 3.4 is just not up to par or the car is just way too heavy..... (man I need a v-8), but for now I just ordered nitrous. God I hope it helps, I hate seeing a domestic musclecar lose to an import. Anyone have any insight....

    i was running 16.5's when i was stock, and i don't think many 3.1 cutlass ciera's can do that, i can smoke my friends 3.1 cavalier z24, and many other 3.1's, i think it's just your car.

                Your car obviously isn't running at 100%. Try doing a tune-up.
