like storm said
just turbo it
ive done on a 3.4 v6 5 speed
with t61 turbo, a/a intercooler and 12:1fmu/24 lb. injectors
and inline walbro pump
add a alky injection
u will still take out lot of gt's and ricers

also did twin toyota ct26 turbos on a 3.8 firebird
for a friends car with fmu and obx intercooler with ported heads using ls1
valves and springs
if i remember it cost less than $1500 to turbo the car

but then again i have a plasma cutter and a mig welder and a shop
and i want to turbo evrything or ls1 swap

What kind of boost was he running? Just curious. A bolt on 3.4 with heavy boost should be able to rape our cars, probably even hold its own against LS1's unless they're modded. Also, never underestimate the power of weight reduction. There's a guy on thirdgen.org that ran a low 13 second 1/4 with a nearly stock 305 (I mean 13.03 territory). This is with the stock heads and I'm pretty sure that the cam he swapped to wasn't too extreme. Bolt ons and weight reduction.

the turbo was putting out bout 10-12 psi with a MBC t61 and 40 mm WG
the A/R on the compressor was .65
A/R on turbine was .80
full boost was in like by 3500 rpm
stock cam,heads,short block with like 50k miles
car ran good with fmu and kept a 12:1-12.5:1 AFR thru out WOT
ON a 95 3.4 v6 5 speed
also had boost referenced pressure switch alky injection
it held its own against bolt on sn95's and fox's and lousy driven f bodys
was a good from roll racing car
SCR on this car was like 9.3:1 i belive
