the 94's either came with the 3.4 or 3.8 V6....if you have a 3.4 get rid of it.......3.8 keep it and get supercharger out of a grand prix........the get a different pulley for the first mod....those 3800 are good engines....or you could also through an lt1 or an ls1 in it...

the supercharger on the grand prix isnt worth it i though. gives u some gain but not as much as if u were to put on a custom kit from FFF or someone liek that. 3800 is a really reliable engine and the aftermarket support for it is increasing. check out www.camarov6.com they have al ot of information. and i got a question. what r the differences from a mid 90's 3.8L V6 to a 2002 Camaro 3.8L V6?

ok heres the deal...I have a 94 Firebird (just a stock one, nothing special) but its only a 3.4L not a 3.8L .
now I heard that if its a 3.4 to get rid of it....well what should I get in its place thats not to expensive....what would be my best bet?

now I wanna be able to customize this sucker like crazy, I just dont know if I should say skrew it and wait to get a diff car or if I should just try for a new Engine.
