staying v6 or going swap?

[ChkPtCharlie]

what are the plans for everyone's car? saving for that nice engine swap, or going for the baddest v6 around?

<--- Going turbo.

I'm not looking to set any records (the GN guys already have that covered as far as Turbo 3.8s go). I thought long and hard about maybe doing an LT1 swap or something, but in the end i decided boost would be the best way to go :cool:

So, How's the turbo install coming along? :confused:

Slow.... the intercooler is mounted though. Once we were all finished designing (on paper) the single turbo design, the subject of Twin turbos came up. I'm going to decide later this week which setup i'm going to use. My car will be done in a few weeks though...

Well this is my first post here and I just wanna say I am finally glad to be here. I was a frequent bystander at LS1.com but could't register for some reason. So as far as the topic goes... I will be doing the LS1 swap after I graduate in May. I hope to learn as much here as I did over at LS1.com. :D






1995 Camaro 3.4 >DEAD< LS1 swap on the way......:2guns:

I want to keep mine to beat on, and have an LS1 car in the garage.

Im shooting for a late summer LT1 swap. I can't wait, this V6 was fun for my first car but I think its time for a lil more power.

[mysticv6]

Just gonna keep the 3.4 in it... figure I'll always need a beater, just plan to run it into the ground. Makes a decent daily driver, just the manual can suck in stop and go traffic, but I dont mind.

[hrspwr00v6]

stayin 6.... but i'm going to stroke it!

[serpint]

Putting in zoomers 4.1 stroker when I get the cash next year. Then adding Tiagos turbo - assuming it looks safe.

Either LS1 swap or selling my car, buying an LS1

[Chevcamaro18]

Swap = bad idea..just buy a cheap Ls1

[panman79]

selling my v6 next year when I get my lt1 car around tax season. So far everything is going according to plan

[redcamaro9090]

I've changed my ideas, a swap is pointless, I'm going to shoot for an LS1 hopefully.

[camarospeedemon]

I've got a spare L36 sitting at my house right now, lets just say as soon as I have the free money :devil:

[1FSTSS]

i own both already:D im all set

[LateNite]

Im swapping, 422 cid :headbang: 4 grand to go should have a nice christmas :)

I saved up for my Z. Now I have my 6 for everyday driving. Also it seemed much cheaper that way. To get my 3.4 to where my Z is would have meant new paint, tranny, engine and interior. Not to mention the Z is still under warranty (about to run out though).

I would like have a 98 LS1 F-Body with 100k+ on the odometer (not much $$) to start working on wrather then have my 3.4L as my starting point. I mean if you are going to forge the internals and build it bulletproof (possibly stroker) then might as well get something that needs some work anyway. Even if you dont want to build something that crazy it would probably be cheaper to get a low milage LS1 car and enjoy the factory spec HP. Heck, if you get it cheap enough you can be like me and have both!:drive::drive:
