here's an idea of what i wanna build:

3.4 long block
crane compucam
roller rockers
home-aid RAM AIR (50% finished)
ported 3.1 injection system
larger Throttle Body
MSD ignition
power pulleys
possibly nitrous


well thats all for i now

i must go to work on my RAM AIR

 

If you want an ultimate V6, just get a TTA, Grand National or a Syclone.

 

Actually, be surprised.
The 3.4 block comes with most of that stuff, already!
You only need supply your current intake system. You can port or polish, after it's on the car (it's easy to remove!)
Start stock (to get it running/trouble shoot correctly) then modify it!
Once you shove more "ram air" into it, then decide if YA NEED alarger TB.
I do not believe you will, nor that it may make any true difference.
NOW INCREASING EXHAUST FLOW sure will, especially upper RPMS. But no need for headers, either.
Don't waste time on the roller rockers.
WHY?
You'll discover how difficult it is to put back on the valve cover and the intake system!!
Kinda tight in that area.
BUT IF YA DO, show pics!!
I could have put 1.6 roller tips on my swap, I decided against it.
I really wanted 1.52 roller tips, for more accuracy. This is a very stout, aggressive FACTORY cam, as is.
I DO SUGGEST 1.52 Comp Cam roller tip rockers, tho. They would fit & work great!!
I really wish I had the money when I did my swap, but, I was running outta $$.
The guy helping me, made me waste alot of extra money (and gas money) with his "suggestions".

Yup!, or what about a 200HP 3.8 swap?

Dude headers and all that will always help your car. Do what ever why its out of the car so it is easier.

89 Trans Am Turbo 3.8L All stock 43,000 miles #1053 of 1555

Past Thirdgen:
86 Trans Am w/ built 355TPI with SLP goodies and too much other stuff to List. One sweet *** car, wish I would have had a good enough Job to pay insurance on three cars so I could keep it, but for a 89 Turbo Trans Am w/ Low miles, I think I made the right choice!

 

hahaha

IF i had the money i would get a TTA

but i aint got it


the 3.8 will not even be considered cuz then i would have to change EVERYTHING like i would if i wanted an 8

the 3.4 is THE way to go if your short on cash like me then i can save some money, mod it then do it again, and again.......
