V6 Powah
Hey guys, i just finished building my motor, bout ready to drop it in,
any ideas on hp/tq numbers for me.
3.4L Longblock .40 over
3 angle valve job, port polish
Forged crank
cam-Phase 2
16-18 204 214 270 280 .420 .443 107 117
Best power band from 1500 to 4000 rpm. Excellent low to mid-range torque from 1500 to 3500 rpm. No pc mod's
19lb Injectors - ??? will this be to much, did some reading these sounded appropriate
2.8L mpfi intake manifold
performance 700r4 trans w/ 3500 stall
3:73 gears posi rear
MSD Ignition
Think I can pull around 200hp, I know the stock 3.4 is bout 160
Looking for mid/low 15's possible??? car weighs 3000lbs
stock v6, no options, fiberglass hood, rear seat delete, center console delete(custom),
Ideas???
Cheers

Re: V6 Powah
thats sounds like pretty much the same motor I had with a 5-speed, except for the 19lb injectors (I had stock) and didn't have msd. Mine only ran a best of 15.8 with 3.42 gears. low 15's is probably asking to much with the cast iron heads.

Re: V6 Powah
With all that changed. You really need to change that prom chip.
Also, you can gut a few more things from the car, or swap a few more for lighter.
I had similar with more weight mods done and it was quite zippy. But I never took it to the track or dyno.

Re: V6 Powah
You'll probably fall a little short. ~180hp maybe. Look at my vb garage for a list of what I stripped out to get to 3000lbs. 2nd the ecm reprogram.

Re: V6 Powah
You can get a willems programmer for $40, a moates aldl cable for $80, eeprom for $5 and a wb O2 for $200-300 if you choose to go that far. Kind of impossible to tune without one though.

Re: V6 Powah
Got it. I started at it about 7 months ago. I still have hair, but more of it is gray now
I think it would have been easier had I started on a somewhat stock setup.----------
Been tuning for 7 months w/o one. It just takes a few more trys.
