Who says 3.4s are slow?
After months of waiting and saving I just bought a 93 Firebird A4 w/89,350 miles. Got new plus and wires, changed the oil, and put 93 octane in it and let me tell you, this thing will fly! 0-45(1-2 shift) in less than 3 seconds with tires burning! Going to get Flowmaster 80, K&N FIPK, Superchip, and TransGo kit. Anyother mods I should do with a limited amount of cash?

Trust me... after a while, it won't seem fast at all.
Then, you'll do something damn stupid, like putting a full Edelbrock catback system with a Catco high flow cat on it.
And it'll seem damn fast again.

It never ends.No matter what we have we always want more.Or someone tells us what we sould have got.
As long as you love it, it does not matter what you have.

they ain't slow, but not fast I put them in the "quick" category.

Anyhow BradC, if you need any help with modding your 3.4L, suggestions or anything, let me know. I've got quite a bit more than just a catback.

Who says 3.4's are slow?......Me! j/k! But seriously bro, I won't bash on ya for buying a V6. You saved your money, you bought the car, you deserve some credit. Oh, about the 93 octane, it's not gonna help ya man. Every engine has different settings for compression and if you mess with the octane you can actually hurt the cars performance. Don't believe me? I ran 93 octane for 8 months in my old 97 V6. I ended up fouling out three plugs and messin up an oxygen sensor. Stick with 87, trust me.
