any farther than I could toss one from what I heard of them. The computer isn't the 3.4L v6's (or any other iron-headed RWD 60 degree v6) big weakness anyway. It's the lousy flowing heads and intake manifold....
Good find, though.

The 3.4 is not going to show much response to minor modifications. With time and money it can make some good power, but on the end Idon't think it worth the effort. Check the sticky on top of this section for more details.

Like I said already, the intake manifolds and heads are GARBAGE. You go nowhere until those get swapped for the aluminum heads/intake from a FWD 3.4L car.
Off the shelf parts which can be found for really cheap if you shop wisely...

the 3.4 was the fogotten bastard child of GM. they never really took off in the aftermarket. the 3.8 was much more popular and shared a lot with the V-8s so that where the aftermarket energies went

You must need a window motor. Mine was around $70 at Auto Zone. I paid a body shop $90 to put it in because my window was really wobbly. ( A stabilizing bar was broken.) They fixed that too.
