about how many horses are you modified monte getting?

mines all stock, i bet i haven't voided my factory warranty yet.

ha ha ha

[MilzyZ34]

a couple

[96mcls]

I'm getting a good 125 at the wheels, but just wait till i get my intake finished i will get a good 127 at the wheels. oh no, i don't mean to brag, but no one can take on my monte i call her the "corvette killer", i will smoke anyone here. he he j/k.

oh no, it was the "chevette killer" my bad

[cherrypoppinmonte]

Haha my car is a minivan killer........nah its got some speed now just from the exhaust.......its sounds tougher than it actually is (my car has small man syndrome).

[Malaclypse]

Dunno.. I'll probably have a dyno sheet up in the next month or two. =p

 

[MilzyZ34]

i'll race ya, i can't be making that much more power

[96mcls]

i always say, "go big or go home."

[MilzyZ34]

bring it on

[96mcls]

oh, it already been brought. you don't want none this 125hp, i just keep showing you l67 swappers who the real king is. its all about the 3100 sfi!

[MilzyZ34]

<- wonders if he could half track a 3100

[96mcls]

hey the 3100 is the best engine gm ever made, next to the crossfire.

[MilzyZ34]

the crossfire corvette motor  that thing sucked.  a 200hp V8

1. How does a 96 LS still have a warranty?

2. The 3100 isn't that bad of an engine, I think it gets ragged on a little too much...I mean, not that bad if yours doesn't have piston slap.  Don't get me wrong, its not exactly a massive powerplant, but it makes good power in the range where it counts for everyday driving, and does a pretty decent job of hauling around heavy W-bodies.  It was never put in W cars with the intent of hauling down the 1/4 mile in record time.  Also, despite their problems, there are also quite a few around with a ton of miles on the clock still making good power.

3. Yes, I'd trade it for an L67.

[MyBabyMonte]

yea i luved mine till the piston slap showed up. even then it still took nething i threw at it. now ive got a new one in there with only 43 miles on it .

[96mcls]

come on now fellas lets get with program. i said my car could beat a monte with a swapped l67, i was also was bragging about the 125 HP i was getting at the wheels, are we seeing a pattern of some type?

but yeah the crossfire was the worst engine ever made by gm i think it ranks with the v6's in new mustangs. thats my honest opinion. i mean seriously why would i go buy a 2004 mustang for like $25,000, when i can get a 96 monte ls that will smoke it for $2,500. that ford they are good for a few good laughs. then put the $12.5k into the monte and make it smoke the cobra, and have $10k left to bet on that race.

[96mcls]

and i think the 3100 is a great engines, but not in a massive car like ours the 3.8l is a nice motor for our cars. also the 4.6 northstar, i want one in my monte.  i'm thinking of selling my grand am and getting a northstar or maybe a l67. the l67 has great potential, and thats what i want. finding performance parts for a 3100-3400 is not very easy.
