New from El Dorado, KS
Hi there, just another new guy from Kansas, I recently got a 2003 Alero, Its a VERY nice car, but i'm having some trouble going from a estimated (No dyno time) 450hp chevy truck..to the stock...170hp to the crank 3.4L V6...Been searching around for some forums for modded aleros, And this is the only one I have came across, Hope I can learn something,
Justin

Welcome to the site!
There are a few modded Aleros here. Search for the "Fastest Aleros" thread and take a look at the list. I think you will be pleased

Kansas eh? You got here just in time for me to have a month remaining before deployment. I'm sure I could help you put a little bit of pep under the hood.

Thanks brother. Save up a little and when I get back we can set you up with an Alero that will definitely make a mark in the street scene.
I speak both turbo and nitrous relatively fluently.

thanks that01, and I'm not a big fan of nitrous, seen to many good engines get destroyed, and haven't had alot of turbo experience either I'm afraid, but I did grow up around a number of S/C GM engines in my grandpa's shop and the drag strip, I was looking into a eaton m90 on the 3.4l, But I have no metal fab shops with a CAD machine near me to make a custom intake manifold...Kinda threw that plan out the window.

yea I was aware the GA is the same aside from astetics, I've researched a little but the only kits I've found were the Eaton M62, as of right now the alero is my daily driver so I may hold off on some big mods for a while until I can afford to pay for the downhill, wind at my back, 7mpg my truck gets...
