A stock 3400 alero is 170 hp at the crank.

A stock 3400 alero is 136 whp - 140 whp

ok..........uhh i dont wanna hear about the 3400 i wanna hear about the other engines, like the shortstar. the 3400 isnt worth putting money into, IMO.

You will need to post in the proper forum for that then. This is for 3400 purformance only. Thanks.

damn.... craxy was like BAM sucka!

what is the best "headers" buy for your money?
(3400 OFCOURSE LOL)

[Crazytaxi37]

Both S&S and TOG have been shown to have the same numbers virtually. TOG's I think are a better product. I use them.

well this is a CAI thread, and you're actively posting in the tog header thread, and it's been said there that they are comparable, but not real documentation.

i'd go with what you can afford. the s&s is almost half if you have an exhaust hook you up with a custom pipe made in place of the flex that they sell for 350 as well.

:unsure:

hey can someone explain headers to me please?

[FormulaNERD]

(my quick explanation)
headers replace your exhaust manifold to more efficiently move exhaust gases from the engine to your res/cat/muffler

(results from an easy google search, i reccomend everyone does that before asking questions)

Headers are one of the easiest bolt-on accessories you can use to improve an engine's performance. The goal of headers is to make it easier for the engine to push exhaust gases out of the cylinders

The idea behind an exhaust header is to eliminate the manifold's back pressure. Instead of a common manifold that all of the cylinders share, each cylinder gets its own exhaust pipe. These pipes come together in a larger pipe called the collector. The individual pipes are cut and bent so that each one is the same length as the others. By making them the same length, it guarantees that each cylinder's exhaust gases arrive in the collector spaced out equally so there is no back pressure generated by the cylinders sharing the collector.

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyah anyways, i guess i'll just buy an APOC CAI. i noticed it has a k&n filter. didnt some people have problems with some sort of substance that f'd up thier MAF? and i also noticed its on back order, anyone know when they'll come back in stock. and one more thing, do you think the APOC CAI is better than the DS CAI?

thanks,

people had problems with the k&n drop in filter for the stock airbox, or at least that's where i had problems. i'm still afraid of getting another k&n after getting a new maf.
