The stock 3400SFI will get you anywhere from 15.5-7 - 16.0 stock on a GAGT or Alero (basically counting weight at that point). You can get about 14.8 N/A and about 14.0 boosted, there are a couple I've seen in the 13.8 I believe, but they've done A LOT of work to their cars and for the little support their is for their motors, I've been very impressed.

If you don't believe me head over to www.grandamgt.com and see some of the cars over there.

I have a 2001 GAGT and it's nice, I know it's no match for my 2002 TA WS6 and I would never expect it to be...

...and don't think I'm sticking up for that Alero either...lol I thought it was pretty funny he would even think he's that fast.

Your right, I need to do a lot of crap, but i work fulltime (45hr/week) and i go to school full-time. Finals tonight actually, and all week plus next monday, then im free. Chalk up 14 more for the good guys. You think 14 credit hours and fulltime work is a lot, last semester i took 16 credit hours. im now 16 classes from my BA in Finance from Walsh. I take summer classes too, so as you can see, im a bit busy. wish i owned my own car shop, that would be my dream job, but maybe sometime after i get my MBA and claim my 6-figures : ) I have edelbrock long-tubes, heads, pulleys, true duals, my tach, and like 6 other things that still need to go on. hopefully ill get em on before the summers over...then im hoping for at least 425 at the rears...

hell, I guess you're right! It must have been another thread. I could have sworn someone mentioned the 3.8 and 4.3 turbo'd sixes. Sorry

yep it can be built to take 1000hp. the stock version inthe syclone or typhoon can be turned up to 24psi with a little race gas and proper tuning.

The unfortunate thing is they only threw it in the GMC's. It would have been a good package to power the S10 SS from 94-98. Oh well...
