ok so pcmforless doesnt work with 95 3.4L comps also someone on ftv6 said no one does but 60* inclusive offers a kit (not quite sure what that is as the website is down) but has anyone heard of this company and could anyone tell me what is in this "kit"

edit: so 60* isnt a company it just a guy that know way too much about these engines i sent him a pm asking about the kit and i also read up on what needs to be done for the tune and ill be honest im a little scared lol it seems way complicated and way easy to fck up

I wouldn't do the tune yourself, let somebody who not only has a lot of experience with tuning cars but also who also knows about this specific engine and this specific swap do it.

is this for rebuilding your 3.4 or for doing the top end swap? I don't think a regular 3.5 cam will do the job...I'm not 100% about the other stuff. Again, might wanna ask ftv6 haha

ya i wasnt sure about the cam but the only thing i heard is the upper intake doesnt fit under the cowl but im gunna get one and try to make it work i also heard that you use the head gasket for the pistons (3.4 pistons 3.4 head gaskets 3.5 pistons 3.5 gaskets) so im gunna try to find out if theres any advantage to using the 3.5 pistons because the head gaskets for the 3.4 are like 20 bucks and the gaskets for the 3.5 are 300

this is to totally rebuild another engine then ill prob sell mine its only got 116000 miles on it so if i could get 200 or 300 for it that would be good
