If you're gonna spend the money for an engine swap, I'd just save up and get an LS1 vehicle and throw some mods on it. It would be cheaper in the long run, and wouldn't take you long to reach the 400 flywheel HP. Unless you just want to do the swap for shits and giggles, then by all means, have at it! lol -- Trent

you could run a 6.0L LQ9 way easier. even easier than that is an LS1 swap. BUT even easier than the even easier is to buy a V8 car. EVERYONE when they get a sixxer wants to swap something. but when you break t down, its not worth it. mod the sixxer, then buy you a V8. keep it simple like trent, brent and everyone else. oh, and Me FTMFW! /thread --

Posted By: nolo325 On: 03-22-2008 @ 20:07:34 Reply | Top | Edit there is nothing soothing about a cutout on a v6, it sounds like shit. better then stock but the stock muffler sounds even more like shit. and where ever you got that quote from he was talking about the wiring harness only. there is no reason cut "cut off" the whole gto front clip as you said. look under the hood of both cars, and you will see. put an ls1 in there with a big cam or giggle gas or both. much cheaper, more parts, and lots of people have done it, so when he fucks it up he can ask for help and more people will have answers. if hes 18 and just bought a 3.4 fbody, my guess would be that he doesn't have a ton of money to spend on putting a gto clip on an fbody. and no i wouldn't waste money on dyno tuning a stock motor, once he gets full bolt ons or some kinda of h/c or nitrous of FI then a dyno tune would be in order, until then have one of the guys on here tune it or email you a tune. -- Posted By: Fury_786 On: 03-22-2008 @ 20:23:55 Reply | Top | Edit TUNING ON A 3.4 IS A WASTE OF TIME! i had one with a full exhaust and a full CAI. plugs/wires etc. and it was slower as hell. cutouts on a V6 aren't soothing. thats why they are so cool i love how obnoxiously loud my sexxer is. --
