What To Buy?

Before I get started with my new topic I wanna give props to Reddog and his runs he pulled at the track, Congrats Reddog. Like I said when I got rid of the Alero I was gonna get another one someday, I'm not getting one now, but would like to know some opinions on which one to get. The 3.4, 2.4, 2.2? I wanna be quick, and I might rule out the 3.4, because I think I want a 5 speed this time around. I wanna run low 14's and possibly high 13's with no power adder, is this even possible with any of these engines, or do I need forced induction? I wanna get these times with N/A engine. Thanks for advice.

13s has been had NA with the 3400.......fairly easily too, they have a lot more room to work, with new cams coming out for the 3400 there is a world of possibilities for na now

Thank you very much :cool:

Yeah the same mods I have, in a GA I would be running in the 13's somewhere, the gearing is different, esp when it's 35 degrees like it was on Saturday :lol:

Without Poweradders low 14's will be tough in an Alero, a GA, yeah no problem, but I would say the 3.4 is the way to go. You could do the GA tranny, but with the programing invovled, you'd be much better off doing the 4t65 tranny, and reprogramming with that. You may be able to use the 4t45 tranny shell and have the 4t65 internals. It's a pipe dream for me, I havn't researched if that will fit into the shell. The 4t65 tranny is in the GM mini vans (ie Venture) and the 2000 to 2004 Monte Carlo, Grand Prix, and Impala. There is also the 4t65HD which is the heavy duty tranny in the Impala police cars
