that isnt his actual spedo. that i learned lol. i thought it was his too. the gears dont so much "add" TQ, but they make it seem like more TQ. it's like difference between speed 1 and speed 18 on a speed bike. and yes. it will lower top speed, a lil, and you will reach redline faster.

whenever i see a fast import beat a fast domestic car, i always say "try racing up hill" lol. imports with no TQ, and mediocre gears wont do crap up hill. to bad there isnt actually a uphill drag race [>:]

 

Is it possible to change though? Replace the 125 one with the 155 one I mean.

 

Yes.

 

well do this get a 125 shot of nitrous have some fun and spray the **** out of that v6 till she dies then go buy a v8(ls1) and u solve all ur problems!

 

except your going to need alot more than a 125 shot to blow a 3800. They have been tourture tested and last for way over 500HP before the block goes. You could just wait for the nitrous to break somthing else, my money would be on the rear end going first.

 

stig that 3800 would burn up faster then jews at the holocaust, im saying have fun with the rink-a-dink v6 and destroy it and slap in a v8 or sell the car an buy a v8.... plan and simple

 

ss4real please know what your talking about before you post. oh also im sure the mods will not appreciate that violently anti semitic coment oh and "plan and simple" come on bro if your gonna be a ***** at least do it well

 

hey im jewish... no not really, but i thought i'd throw it up.

and i agree with stig, i've read it couple places. i forgot where tho, i posted it when arguing with a import guy one time. the internals last till about 600HP, and the block can withstand like950HP if i remember. but the tranny and clutch can only handle about 300HP and 300TQ, and the rear ends are weak too. i beleave they also tested that on a engine with like 60kmi. but im not sure about that one. anyway. those 3800s are a serious engine, cept you HAVE to FI them to get anything out of them, which does alot more tortue on a engine than N/A HP would.. but there's a guy who has a turbo one, with 496RWHP running high 10s/low 11s. plus in all honety. they're a much lighter car... but i still agree. buy a V8, but it'd be sick as hell to have a v6 domestic beating v8s and i4s alike. v6 domestics get so much flack.

 

umm i wasnt really tryin to be a **** but ok BIG NIG sry about the v6 remarks lol maybe i should have said in all due respect before i started the comment.... my bad and i was fu^king with stig and im pretty sure it dont matter and my point was get a v8 but maybe i said it a lil wrong....

 

I was actually looking for a V8 when I was buying this Camaro. But for my budget at that time all the V8's were '94 or older and had a lot of milage on them. In addition the extra cost for gas from daily driving and high maintanence costs turned me off.

Now, after driving my car for 2 months I am becoming more and more attached to it. So at this point I'd rather make it into a project car over the upcoming few years than buy a V8. Besides, if Stig's estimate earlier in this thread are correct, and I believe they are, I should be able to beat the 300 hp on the spray with only around $2k in upgrades, which is lessthan I would have needed to pay extra for a Z28. And as he said, I'll have the power only when I need it, a click away, so the car should still make for a solid daily driver without killing the drivetrain.
