FiredUpZ28

Hey guys whats up, I've posted from time to time but never introduced myself. My names Ryan I have a 2000 Camaro, I used to have a 93 Z but I traded it in (lotta miles, started fallin apart - gotta love speed density). I bought the V6 with every intention of building a bad *** 3.8 . Haven't decided on boost or stroker + nitrous. I dont have the cash for engine work yet so Im setting up the suspension and drivetrain first. Anyhoo, just wanted to say whats up. Everyone on here seems pretty knowledgable so it looks like I'll be on here quite a bit

Hey what's up.. just curious do these L36s perform similar to the TTAs of the 80's with a mild turbo setup?

Sounds like a cool project and get to modding that (soon to be) beast!

just about everything about the buick 3.8 turbo engine is differnt includeing the block(dont know if there are more differnces other than the oil drain back for the turbo being cast into the block) , however i would think with the same heads and cam profie, and the same turbo it would perform the same. do the 3.8s in the f bodys have a roller cam or flat tappet? buicks were all flat tappet from the factory.

Don't you mean 116?

Anyway, thats cool that you want to be different and have a fast little sixer. What size stall are you gonna run?

Sounds like a nice project. Way to keep the insurance premiums managable too.

Don't believe any of the bullshit you read on CV6

The 3800 is a little peppy engine, i saw a guy with custom long tubes and abbiot racing heads/port polished intake manifold get around 273 hp, and thats not even touching the internals. I would assume with a nice little cam you should be able to get around 330 and more with boost/spray.

Come over to Fullthrottlev6.com

We have the most knowledgeable gmv6 member base out there. We have quite a few members looking to destroy some records soon. I'm pretty confident we'll have a couple of street 10 second cars running around when the weather gets cooler.

Another good site. A lot of the more experienced v6 folks wander from one site to another.

...just beware of all the high school girl drama that goes on between some of the younger ones.
