OK guy's i have a 91 firebird V6 with a 3.1

now i know it's not much but it's in GREAT SHAPE i'm not ready to dump it when it's running so good

the only thing wrong is the kicking from time to time when i'm slowing down it sometime kicks into first but the shops i've taken it to tell me it ok and there is nothing really wrong with it.?

the car is totally stock nothing extra now........

what if anything can i do to improve or rather get some
power and sound out of this car?????


can anything really be done with what i have????
or should i just chance it and try to find a v8 out there that works?


HELP PLEASE!!!!!

 

Welcome to the board.
As for the kicking down into first I do not know.
But for power here you go.



You could do a Ked85 approach and install a 3.4L V-6, it swaps right in, theres an extra 25 hp, and 40 ft/lbs. Heres his swap post https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...ighlight=boogie

You could install
-crowler, crane or ari cam -- Crane and crower are easy to find ARI web site http://www.engine-parts.com/GMV6/gm28stroker.html

-roller rockers

-Ported and polished heads and intake.

-Headers that Camaro_hunter_d is making

-Better exhaust (this should be the second upgrade, recommended by everyone.)

-COMPLETE TUNE-UP This should be the first thing you do. Heres TomP's guide to it https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...highlight=Major

-Forced induction Turbo, SC etc. No one has done this yet so you will be breaking new ground.

-There there are all sorts of little mods that people do. K&N filter ram air setups, TB bypass, better ignition etc. There are other mods than can be found on the homepage.

Hope this helps.

 

ok what is all this stuff and what will it do for me????

--crowler, crane or ari cam -- By increasing the flow of gasoline and air into your cylinders you will gain hp

--roller rockers-- Creates less friction in the valve train of your car and create more hp. There are sever types you can get. Stock ate 1.52:1 while you can get 1.6:1.

--Ported and polished heads and intake. Smoothing out all the rough textures of the metal in the heads and air intake make the engine breath better.

--Headers that Camaro_hunter_d is making Flow the exhaust out of the car quicker. The faster the exhaust fumes leave the combustion chamber the better.

--Better exhaust (this should be the second upgrade, recommended by everyone.) This is jst obvious

--Forced induction Turbo, SC. Turbo runs off you exhaust, SC runs off you engines belts. What they do is the force into the engine.

(simular to how a leaf blower blows air out. )

-There there are all sorts of little mods that people do. K&N filter ram air setups, TB bypass, better ignition etc. There are other mods than can be found on the homepage. K&N flows more air, TB bypass makes the throttle body cooler, better ignition makes hotter and better spark to the engine.
