wanna go faster

what can i do to the 3.1L V6 in my '91 to give it some ballz? The car is out of commission for awhile. I figure since I will be working on the engine anyway I might as well make it worth it. THNX

Getting a 350 would be your best bet, unless you like "Wiping your @ss with a turd."

port the intake, heads, and put in a crane or gm cam. also if you come up with the money, headers and a performance chip would help. this is unless your going to replace it. if you are i'd recomend the above with a 3.4.

There is an old saying. No matter how much you polish a turd what do you get in the end? The same turd only a little shinier.
