  • Brother's stock 3.4 faster than mine....

    Here's the scoop.....

    I have a 93 firebird 3.4 with these mods:

    K&N CAI
    Flowmaster 80 Catback
    Catco High Flow Cat
    180 degree thermostat
    Accel Spark Plug wires
    NGK plugs
    MSD coil packs
    ASP Underdrive pulley (crankshaft)

    My twin brother has a 93 camaro 3.4 with these mods:

    Flowmaster Catback
    K&N drop in air filter


    Now can someone please tell me why his car is faster than mine?

    I'm sick of getting burned by a practically stock car while spending money on mods that don't seem to do anything.

    thank you

          Yeah, I meant mileage. Are they standard or auto? Does he have the same gears as you?

            everything is the exact same, even down to the tranny filter ( i know cuz i do all the maintenence crap on his car)

            besides those mods, exactly the same engine. Exactly.


            Now i know it's not like i have headers or anything like that, but it's not like i'm even a little bit faster than him...he's faster than me and i'm starting to lose it.

            oh and they're both autos, so you can't even say maybe he's a better shifter, cuz all you gotta do is put the pedal down.

                        Is the Camaro lighter? Iduno... Maybe you have 2 big *** 1252 Watt Infinity subs in the back.

                          The only thing heavier about my car is a 40 lb subwoofer box and a small amp. Plus mine is clean and since his is full of **** all the time, it kind of evens out =)
