Hello

This is my first time ever posting on this board tho I read thru it at least once a day. I post quite a bit on the original Lumina mb. Anyways, I have a 92 Lumina Z auto, which IMO has absolutely no top end power. Ive already been smoked by a 94 pushrod 3.4 Trans Am 5-speed(I've been told I shouldve had that one easy :cry: ). Ive been trying to come up with ways to boost my high end power. The only near future mods I plan on is a FFP motor mount, shift kit, trans cooler, and fabricating my console to fit this shifter. Is there anything I can do to get a noticeable increase in my top end?

Thanks,

Andy

Well a free flowing intake/exhaust will give you more top end, at the sacrifice of lower end torque. I've heard messing with exhuast cam timing will give you more up top too, do a search and check it out to make sure.

You mean to tell me Trans-Ams came with six-bangers in them?????

(well, if you're really concerned about not getting yer doors blown off by Trans-Ams, I'd opt for a regular,reliable,common as hell chevy small block V-8......but that would just be *my* solution)

I think 94 they had the 3.4 after that i think they had the 3800. Anyone else?

...I have a 92 Lumina Z auto...fabricating my console to fit this shifter.

I going to put a ratchet shifter in my car also. The detent mechanism in the shifter will need to be modified as the distance that the shifter cable moves between some of the gears is different for the FWD transmission.

The only TA to have a V6 was the 1989 Turbo Trans Am. It is the fastest stock Trans Am.

The 4-speed auto TTA is slower than the last 4th gen, 5.7, 6-speed Trans Am.

So back to the topic of getting more top end power...I have a '92 Z34 as well. I have no low end power, but alot of high end. So far I have upgraded to a K&N intake and 16" BF Goodrich Traction T/A VR speed rated tires. Within in the next couple months, I'm getting the FFP chip, underdrive pulley, and motor mount, and dual 40 series Flowmasters. Any ideas on how to increase my low end and also gain more top end power??

I also lack top end power...but then again i have the 3100 under my hood so maybe it's just that :?

Yes a turbo would be great! But I was thinking of upGrades under $5000...

get a stall converter and the 3.73 gears for your trans. true cold air intake, exhaust, ported heads and intakes. really easy stuff to do

 

and on who ahs the fastest auto z34.............we will see at the meet :twisted:

.........well the NASCAR tires and different color bumpers will sure add at least a few HP

LOL Jeremy....I was refering to my Z34 for the upGrades and not my Euro. But thanks for the input ;)
