95 BLKDOUT Drop Top Posted September 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 ok thanx alot, u guys have been oh so helpful in my quest for more power out of my "mighty" 3100 V6. lol i like the idea of swapin it out for the 3400 or even the s/c 3800 but unfortunatly im only lookin to spend like $1000-$1500 in power add-ons over the next year or so after that im puttin ALL of my cash into a 3rd or 4th gen IROC-Z or SS camaro for some tru power but until then im definatley gonna go with the cold air intake but is there a way to make a ram-air like set up? like maybe run the intake close to the ground infront of the radiator. and a supercharger sounds good and i kno im doin a custom built 2.25" mandrel bent GTP dual exhaust with two magna flow str8 thru mufflers and a magna flow hi flow cat. I like the idea of changin the shift points on my tranny, one question: are the shift points on the 4t60e in the 3.4 motor different than the points in the 3100 tranny? i got the 4t60e from a 3.4 motor but it feels like 2nd gear is wierd, 3rd on the other hand is perfect but u gotta be between 70-75mph to get good use of that gear. but thanx again for all of your suggestions... oh and i almost forgot... I LOVE laughin gas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscoStudd Posted September 4, 2004 Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 from what I understand putting a L67 in a 1st-gen will bump it up to around the same weight as a 2nd gen GTP.. Plus a 'vert is heavier to begin with so I don't think it will be lighter at all.. I am kinda getting tired of the words L67 swap. Can't wait till there are some OTHER good options for lots of power (like the 3900 V6 ) Here's a thought: TURBO SHORTSTAR!!! Nobody's ever mentioned doing a 3.5 Shortstar swap in an older W yet, so why not take that one step further? I suppose the aftermarket for the Shortstar is weaker than the aftermarket for the 3.4 TDC though ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that would explain why nobody's contemplated doing the swap yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henschman Posted September 5, 2004 Report Share Posted September 5, 2004 do a custom supercharger setup if you're willing to do some custom fab. That should wake it up a little... use a m62 or m90 off a 3800, or if you want to intercool, use a tbird sc supecharger. Should be around your price range.
