about 400hp an near 460 torq ,yes my 3800 get up goes great for what it is a 200hp car they were realy a great car an still are ,the gas milage on the 406 about 12 to 15 an the 3800 20 to 30 mpg ,its got AC to the car is great for the long trips too,nitrous is better for kicks an giggles unless you got all forged parts in your engine ,they sell the fake looking bottles ,though for $600.00 for my real kit installed is paid for after 7 years it was only used it a few times when it was the 346 lt1 ,i may hook it back up next year when i get some quirks worked out not bad for a frankin car

good for you need to get rolling again yes thank you, actually if you gave me a choice of what i have or a gen 1 1968 or 69 ,i would rather have 3 4th gen cars though i have a gen1 engine in a 4th gen car ,there the best value car out there for the money, i seen a 94 z28 car this year on craigs list with 37000 miles ,for $3700.00 with an ultra z hood red ,best deal of the year,i like the 93-97 look when the paint around the lights is not matte black ,mine was gloss black ,but yes after 10 years next year with it ,its 99,9% rust free,the 99 3800 has some rust under it ,but i had the underbody repainted an plan to do it again next season,i have concidered selling them both for an ls1 car ,but i think it will be a few years ,i may just sell the 3800 ,an get a 98-02 ss i do like the look better too,nice thing about the 93-97 cars is one can get headlight covers makes it look real close ,then the 96 an 97 ss cars are nice to an the 97 lt4 car very rare an 330hp tops the 02 ss at 325hp,did you figure out photo bucket yet,looks is everything performance is over rated these days i get these guys with big trucks trying to race me ,an i get near as many complements from my 99 bace to the 95 ,as well as my winter ride an 05 mercury sable ,must be the chrome wheels

After we did the 3.4 to 3800 swap, we had 4.10 gears installed in our 94 rear and it really made a difference. Well worth the $350 for the gears and have the shop install them. Top end suffers but every gear pulls harder. Now I wish we had done a posi unit.

looks is everything and one thing i have noticed is everybody put their 4th gens away for the winter but i kept mine and it pushed thru maybe cause im more down south idk
