most of the 3400 performance people are overseas right now.
the rest of us are too busy keeping it running, rather then beefing the engine. we're definitely having a lul.

agreed, the 3400 is dying out... its not beefing them up, its keeping them from the graveyard

I'm pretty sure if Ben has a question about performance and the 3400 none of us will know the answer. Ben knows the 3400 inside and out.
I think Ben was getting at why doesn't the 3400 section have a performance section.

I would love to talk more preformance on here, but they is only like 7 or 8 guys (myself included) that do actual performance mods to the car.

By the way, I spent about a half-hour reinstating pictures on a previous thread, and was going to continue it with new pics and discussion, but now the thread comes up blank:
http://www.aleromod.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20406
What's up with that?

No, they don't necessarily "take up more fuel," they may need higher octane fuel..........and my car is a daily driver, too. It does help quite a bit to have a second car available, though.

I think he was referring to the title being "3400 performance" yet the subforum is filled with maintance/repair questions NOT performance questions.
my only possible answer for that is... anyone who is seriously looking into it, knows to go to your forum, ben.

I think you are missing the point. I am not asking anyone to spend money. I am asking for this section to be about performance. If not, don't call it the performance section.
