Andrew, from that link, has a 3.8. That's a totally different than this guys 3.4. So alot of that information on his site wouldn't be very relevant to this guy's motor.

In order to achieve that he would also have to swap out the pistons from a FWD 3.4, and the lower and upper intake manifolds. There's alot more to it than just swapping the heads. Though that would be nice though.



Just thought I would those couple of things out.

Yes andrew's car is a great example of what's going on in the 3.8 world, but the 3.4 is a far cry.

i know i know his car has a bigger engine, i should have stated that sorry. But i just wanted to show what is basicly the top you can get with X amount of money spent, not to mension time, but you guys corrected me thank you.

Not only bigger but completely different.

a 3.4 camaro is better to mod then a 1.9 sohc saturn sl1, but i'd just throw in a 350. i just sold my old short block for 250.00 bucks. thats how cheap you can get into a 350.

even thought it would be ugly at first you should get pvp pipe from the hardware store. the 200$ intakes are a waiste in my opinion. its a proven fact that pvp pr pvc w/e its called dissipates heat more efficiently than aluminum. just paint it or something and itll be alot better. biggest thing u can do is start tearing out stuff you dont need in the car. my first was the back seats. WHO'S GONNA FIT BACK THERE ANYWAYS ! lol. besides that def do the exhaust upgrade and port n polish ur intake and exaust manifold. if you have money get and upgrade on your intake and exaust valves. pulleys n w/e else u want. just watch our cus u might need to watch ur injectors and fuel pump.

Hold up, you're saying that pvc piping dissipates/transfers heat better than aluminium? right..

go ask formula drivers. do me a favor, get ur aluminum intake and a piece of pvc pipe...put your hand in both pieces one at a time; and hold a lighter in the pipe where ur hand is..tell me which one starts burning you first. it seriously doesnt take that much knowledge to know which one will hurt first. or just go dyno it if u have that option.

just get some nitrous. or put together a turbo kit.

pyroman, dissapation of heat means that it TRANSFERS heat better. i.e. aluminum, which will heat up, DISSAPATES heat better. that is bad for intakes, since that means it will get heatsoaked.. however. PVC pipes should never ever be used in the engine compartment.. at least if its going to get decently warm. PVC pipes SHRINK when they are heated.. if they dont melt first. the plastics used in cars are NOT pvc.. im sure you can make an intake that would work w. pvc.. but they arent made to be smooth internally. a pvc pipe with fittings/etc would create some major turbulence in the intake.., i think? well, whatever works i guess.. but dont use PVC where its gonna get hot (i tried this...)

im with the guy whom said spray it by the way

[ikeyballz]

lol, spray til it blows eh?

[philly rs]

or build it for the spray and dont blow it....N2o cars are fun as hell when built right! hell now that im thinking about it i need to go fill my bottle this week, im on E. thats when all the cobra's and vipers and stuff want to actually play...any other time they dont wanna halfway look at u when u next to them... well not so much the cobra's they always wanna play..gotta love them ford guys they like the grude races lol

Well, I'm not here to agrue with anyone. All I know is that I tried it on my car and dynod it and it proved more efficiently. If you cut off the end fittings like I did; there is no turbulance. and if your engine compartment is getting so hot that it melts the pipe then you have a bigger problem anyways. try what you want man; I'm just trying to give tips that proved to be efficient in my point of view.
