Prospeeder Posted August 25, 2005 Report Posted August 25, 2005 O, this guy on the grand am owners club seems to think the 3.4 DOhc has just massive ammounts of computer detuning, and with just a chip they could have like massive amounts of power, thats a load of bull shit i think, because all of you would have done it and be smashing GTPs and haveing the fastest w-bodies on here EDIT: i would like to know if that is true, or bullshit Quote
Prospeeder Posted August 25, 2005 Author Report Posted August 25, 2005 i was wondering if thats TRUE, jeese Quote
digitaloutsider Posted August 25, 2005 Report Posted August 25, 2005 It's detuned mechanically more than it is via the ECM. We've all heard the rumor that the original LQ1's were pushing 350HP and whatnot. And there's no way it was all pulled via the chip. Quote

THe_DeTAiL3R Posted August 26, 2005 Report Posted August 26, 2005 Ben (aka Vegata) loves to tune chips, mainly the 3.4s and he's not getting HUGE gobs of power out of those engines (but he is getting more power out of them). Like someone else said it's proabably mostly mechanical, *IF* they ever did have 350hp or whatever the silly rumor is.. Quote
gp90se Posted August 26, 2005 Report Posted August 26, 2005 the rumor also says the 350 horse 3.4 had a VVT setup in it Quote
5speedz34 Posted August 26, 2005 Report Posted August 26, 2005 I've heard 270 orginally. I wouldn't be suprised because GM has some wierd ass cars out there, especially ones they don't show to the public. Have you ever seen the 89 or 90? Fiero concept pictures? It has a 3.2 engine and the plenum looks identical to the 3.4's. Which leads me to believe this was to be a Fiero's engine. Do I believe the myth? No. Not to mention GM can't have a W beating up on 'vettes of the day. Quote
