3100 performance

[95 BLKDOUT Drop Top]

2 words that are rarely used together are 3100 and performance but i kno its some things i can do to my 3100 to give it more torque, im not too much about the hp i just need alot more torque than what i have. i probably got heaviest w-body ever made; the 95 CS convertible.

That has a bit of information on 3100 and 3400 performance(some of it might be a little more involved than you're wanting to get into though)

 

Some other simple/small power increasing things =

 

-Making a custom fenderwell intake(you're going to need to relocate the battery to do this one though, otherwise throw a K&N drop-in filter in the airbox if you don't want to do much work. It's not going to make a noticeable difference unless your old filter is really clogged up with debris. It will save you money in the longrun though if you plan to keep your car for a long time since it's a a washable filter).

 

- FFP underdrive pulley (makes a noticeable difference, it has netted a 5hp and a few ft-lbs gained on a dyno w/ the older 3.1 MPFI engine, so a 3100 should gain about the same or a tad more power than that from it)

 

- FFP engine mounts(or add "poly" Energy Suspension brand bushings to your stock dogbone mounts, you can find info on that here. http://www.tpsgarage.com/TGP/Engine/motor_mount.htm That site lists 88-93 "2.8/3.1" but the 3100 mounts are the same even though you have a 1995)

 

FFP's website is located here if you want to check out those other parts(their product info should go into detail on what the parts do).

If you need any more specific info, just ask.

Help you make better use of the power you already possess.

How?

 

By decreasing engine movement. Drive a car with really sloppy stock mounts/worn out bushings and then drive a car with good parts on it, you can even see the difference in THAT case with stock mounts(the FFP's are constructed better and have stronger bushings, so it only gets better when using them).

[AWeb80]

I believe Turby and a few others from the TGP board have done that mod before. I'm going to order some of the bushings to try out on my TGP soon since I have some spare dogbones laying around to put them into.

[AWeb80]

Where can i get these at....any parts store that carries enery suspension stuff?

 

or online somewhere.

 

JCWHitney?

Adam, most auto parts stores should sell them. I know that Autozone and Advance Auto branches do, you'll likely have to order from them as they don't stock very many bushings from Energy Suspension(at least, the stores around here only carry really popular sway bar bushings, but can order any others you need).

Thanks Matt.
