Re-opening my post

Thanks mw66nova for getting my heat shield thread closed. The 3.4L is the best thing I have learn on this board. With a Black & Decker Wizard for polishing and porting, free flowing exhaust and cold air intake plus some fine tuning you get 200hp which is perfect. In KED85's words, "If you want a V8 camaro, buy it!" for me 200hp is perfect and guess what, no cutom crap or full CAR rebuild all bolts right in and you have to love those 3.4L heads compared to our current heads, they flow better. Thats why everybody likes the 3.4L.

TO KEEP this tech

Anybody have a picture of the V8 heatshield from summit??

I was in my buddies v6 2002 Camaro and it rides better then our cars as in way better, WHY?? do they put the springs on the shock or do we have harder springs becuase our cars way 700 pounds more?? What's a good PSI air pressure for out tires, mine read 35 when they are hot.

Your friends 2002 camaro rides better simply b/c its a new car . None of the suspension componets , shocks , are worn out .

As for tires , I usually just go by what they say on the tire like you do .

Are you still working on that starter heatshield ? ....just messing with you man !
