Rich D used to have a V6 firebird a few years ago. 3.8L with a small nitrous shot. ran 12s all damn day. those suckers are STRONG. the 3.4L is a different story.

i would never recomend head and cam job for those motors.

RE: the V-6

Spray the hell out of it and swap in an LS1 a few weeks later.

Pfft, everyone knows LS1s NEVAR win.

Although, seeing my V6 go to peices over a stout 200 shot of Nitrous would be a fun site. Take it to the track and be the first V6 to run 13s while on fire...literally.

I considered the LS1 swap, hell I even considered a 3.8L swap, but in the end, shit just costs too much money - itd be better to just buy one.

Still, I'm glad there's a solid answer of 'no' on this undertaking, glad I found that out before I took the rachet and socket to the bastard.

the turbo 3.4 guy is tiago, he makes a turbo kit for around $1k? I think

supposedly runs 13's just from the kit

the 3.8's have decent potential, there is a guy on Fbody.com who's basically just intake exhaust, small suspension, m5 running low 14's

not bad for a basically stock 6er
