i have to agree with billy, i like the way it sounds. a 4cyl will never sound like my v6. thats one of the only reasons i got the car...it had a v6.

uber generalization. There are many examples of N/A V6s that are superior to turbo 4 cyls.

You're quite true though, my brothers 4 cyl honda civic produces 30 less horsepower than my alero and I'm pretty mad about that because he can drive like crap and still save more gas than me.

I just hate OHV engines, its not the 3400 engine itself I hate, I just wish it was a OHC (dual preferrerd)

to get back on topic... if you selected, engine performance, then then 3400 engine section, then yes, all of that fits the 3.4L engine that you (we) have.


and mahan, your running 7s in the 1/8th mile run... which is like measuring wang in millimeters. Just cuz its a much larger number, it doesn't mean its actually bigger.

yes....then he would just be another one in the crowd with a S/Ced ecotec, the reason i invested so much money into my car is because it is very unique and you never see them at the track or at shows

^^Truer words never spoken. The 3400 is definitely a "labor of love" project. 2.4s, Ecotec, etc. are all cookie-cutter setups. Trust me, put two boosted Aleros side by side, one a 4 and the other a 6, and pop the hoods. They'll look at the 4 and it clicks to them "Aw crap, that's the same engine in all the Cavaliers and Sunfires". But then they look at 6 and think "Crap. I thought these econo-car engines sucked". Who's the guy gonna be asking about how it performs, the 3400 or the cookie cutter?

to me and i msure most people, it doesnt matter what you have what you drive or what powers it, if its fast, its fast, and if you wanna laugh at the cookie cutter laugh away but know the cookie cutter will always be faster

But in all truthfulness, it is less expensive i think there are more parts available for the 4 cyl. guys to put down some decent power. i don't know, maybe it's just me man but i love my la1, and i haven't unleashed the moster yet.
