LA1 not that great of a motor anyways, if i could take anything back i would of gone with the 2.2 ecotec with the 5 speed manual.......for the biggest aftermarket, fuel mileage, reliability and ease to work on

What?!?! You can't be serious.

2 LA1 s/c Aleros on this board running low 13's (mid 12's if they ran at sea level) and one turbo'ed which will be running low 12's

Over on GAGT, on motor, they are running high 13's on stock internals.

the LA1 is a horrible pushrod motor, i have seen 1.8L run 12's N/A, nissan has thier VQ35 which is just .1 more liter output makes allmost double the amount of power output as this lousy excuse of a motor puts out... pushrod just doesnt cut it when it comes to the ease of power a DOHC can make. there are so many 4 cyclinders bone stock that leave the factory that will out perform the LA1 any day, believe it or not nissans 2.5L 4 cylinder altima makes a faster 1/4 time than most new GM v6's such as the G6's, Aura, malibu, definetly any N-body......so sad how all the japenese car companies do is make a DOHC 3.5L v6 and Bam they got about 300hp bone stock, and this 3.4 wont even lay 150 to the ground....pathetic


now then compare the 3 "fast" LA1's to how many 1000+hp ecotec's out there....

now comepare the amount of money spent on the LA1, now compare that price to ecotec part prices.... and look at the equivelant of what parts were bought for how much then look at those parts for the ecotec and how much they cost

That must be why the saleen s7 has a dohc engine...Sorry just had to kid there

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.

Yep..... Don't we all wish this.

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