Go for Nitrous instead.
More power for the dollar.
That factory 3.4 cam is excellent.
Go for more/most effective street driven RPM booster-air intake and more exhaust.
Then add 1.6 roller tip rockers.
Switch to Fiero valve covers same time.
Have fun. Wish I could go for a ride with ya.
How is your 80-100mph charge?
Mine is quite quick, right, Fast RS?

I easily go over 100 MPH.
My exhaust is stock, except muffler may be a dynoflow (It's a Z-28 look alike, nice tone)
Rear is 3:42
Air inlet, I slightly modified, seems to help. My air filter gets dirty!
Ignition is 100% primo stuff.
Engine is bone 2.8 stock intake, nothing done to it.
IF I really wanted to, I'd Extrude Flow the V-6 intake & exhaust manifolds, then put on an Edelbrock V-8 exhaust system for a 305 sized ride. NOT an Edelbrock muffler (I do not like Flowmasters noise & I have one on my S-10 Blazer). BUT BIG $$$$!
Right now, I'm just concentrating on a new better flow pipe from exhaust manifolds to CC area. That one mod will keep my ride quite happy! AND add about 10HP, too! AND SMOOTHER higher reaching RPMs.
Especially with our 3.4'S!
