hELLO ALL!!!
 

Ok...before anyone gets first impressions, my name is that way because I jsut bought this georgous 1995 Camaro 3.4....Ok...it is slow

I have had 5 Buick Grand nationals, and I am working on my 6th, but I got this 1995 Camaro 3.4 v6, and it needs anything!!! What can I do right away to upgrade this car to bring it up to par? It has flowmaster exhaust, from the cat back, with a punched cat.....What else?

Cold Air?
Chip?

do they sell headers? where and how much?

Is there a basic recipe that anyone recommends that I start off with, in order to gett his thing rollin??:banghead: The basic idea is to turbocharge in a year or two, but my other projects are a little cost prohibitive...what can I do???

I am in the military, so my budget is, as everyone knows, EXTREMELY limited....so...with that in mind....What to do????

Thanks all

Well first of all, welcome to the board! Secondly, there's a world of things you can do to bring the car up to par... but i'll get the standard anwser outa the way,

Intake and exaust. A good CAI and a set of headers will definatly wake it up.

oh yah...

Ebay.

welcome! got pics?

welcome to the board... I agree, intake, headers are good starters.

if you are really interested in a turbo v6, idk that much about them but can anyone chime in here on the gains of swapping to a 3.8 before a turbo... i know the 3.8 is a really nice motor compared to the 3.4(no offense at all of coarse) but the 3.8 is like a titties *** v6, especially with a turbo. you would know with the GN's tho.got pics?

welcome ..I would agree that u first mods should be cai,headers etc. And its ironic that u said u've had a GN cause I just brought one............on gran turismo 4 of course. lol

Welcome to :yeahpc:

I use to own a 3.4 Camaro myself. I had an SLP intake, RKSport Headers, 3" Carsound high flow cat, SLP loudmouth, the rear end of a Trans Am with possi and 3.73 gears, and one piece aluminum driveshaft from an LS1 car.
Other than the 3.73 gears the mods really helped, if I had to do it again I would go with 3.42's at the most.

chad, so did you swap all that crap over to the LT1 then? lol

Sorry all...no pics yet...car is in great shape body wise, an NC car. Dash has a few large cracks that need to be fixed. As per everything else, aside from the flowmaster muffler and 2-1/2 inch cat, no mods yet!!! Car was adult owned, I am the third! Thanks so far!!!

As per a 3.8 swap...I thought about it, but I wanted to keep this car in the numbers of stock area....I like a challenge!!! hehehe. In regards to the buick stuff, I am basically out of them...I spent 5 years on a 10 second non-intercooled car, had loads of fun, but needed the $$$...Got a house and all...I had a few daily drivers...one ran 14's, two ran very consistent 12's, and now my brother and I are evolving another non-intercooled GN into low 11's... But that is his car, and I am just looking for a toy. I thought about the squires turbo system, and my younger brother is an auto shop teacher and a talented welder...he said it would be no prob hooking one up to the rear axle!!! lol...Then I gotta figure out fuel injectors, chip, intercooler, all that jazz!!! so...Right out of the box, I knew exhaust and CAI were on the "To Do" list... Is SLP the best kit for the air? what are the best headers for the buck? can a weekend mechanic install these, or do I have to rely on my mechanic brother? thanks so much all!!! pics coming soon!!!

Best v6 headers for buck = Pacesetter

I installed my headers/catback over the weekend, toook me a couple days, and it was my first time doing it. Getting everything off is about 75% of the work I think.

i would agree with paar the hardest part about a header install is the removal..i mean when i put mine on it took me almost two days just to break all the rusted bolts free.

that's what PB blaster is for
