im not sure about out last b/c my 305 is still running really well, n the hp isnt that close, the 3.4 was rated at 160, but i kno he has mods on it, but still, the 305 can be pushed easily to 225+ with work. i wanna turbocharger on mine. (if i ever get the $) plus theres torque, something i like, and the v8 makes way more i belive.
btw: my milage so far is 142,xxx and it dosnt leak anything. which is good so i can keep it in the driveway. |

But anyways definetly a 13 sec car with traction, who knows with a great tune and like a 1.6 60 ft i can almost guarantee i had a 12 sec 305 with 170k on the bottom. Id like to see a v6 do that and spend that little. But his decision. I think you guys know where i stand on this matter :D |
ok so do the same work on a 3.4 and see what happens gm even says average life on a 305 is 100,000 miles, also the third gens had the lowest build quality of all the f body generations (that time frame was awful for all american auto makers and the reason honda, and toyota have the position they do) the 305 in '90 was rated at 210 hp the 3.4 is 160 so there is a small difference (add milage and the 305 looses more since the cams were notorious for going flat) torque difference was only 85 lb ft
|
87 and up are roller cams, the v6s should be the ones going flat
|
v8s are awesome, but i'm gonna go w/ arch on this one, my vote is don't buy the iroc...and use the 800 you would be spending on it and put it towards a blower

it was just thrown together (early 4th gens were bad also)
|
I say mod the '95. My brother had a V6 that would have beat 98% percent of the cars here. THe only reason i say this is because your sig already says lots of mods, so why not keep going........... :)
|
buy the iroc .. i been nothing but happy with my car, yes im goign to pull the motor soon but its alot of fun now and will run over most all v6's
