Yeah well we don't have to keep the DI part of it really.. Most of the engines 300+hp comes from an ~11:1 comp. DI is just icing on a cake that breaths well anyway.;) That's the beuty of a dohc.. Well @ least for some of us..

Too add... I for one don't care for drag racing personally.. Tho I like power same as the next guy. But I also like to turn a different dirrection, and to be different, as much as possible.. No offence v8= easy and done many times over.. However I will not mess with 4 juggers.. Not everyone cares about the extra expense or ease of doing something..;)

Now on to the 3800.. As wheelie said it's all been discussed.

Time to study up on making power in a buick 90*v6 or start saving for the big v8 in the sky bro.. imho

I think with a nice cam, a stroker setup, good gears ALL bolt ons, some PP, and you would be well on your way N/A to reeling in an bone ls1.. Put a spool on top of that and well........ya know.......:dance:

This is my white 95 camaro 3.4l for daily driving .... I used only the orginal parts from GM, from the chevy impala ..... my engine produces 220 hp and 240 ft lb .... ... Not bad for a little v6, right? but anyway, nothing is better than the v8.....

Nice !!! 660!! :woot: Do i see a hybrid there?.. Could have done a 3.4/3500 hybrid and been even better.. Many folks have done your swap on other w-bodies too.. The cross ref in parts for the 660 is pretty good with the exception of ONE lone member.....:firedevil:
The "nothing is better than a v8" thing is more a matter of perspective..;)

Imho, v6 is'nt for everyone.. The old get a v8 horse has long since died and been beat to dust.. Personally I don't build mine to impress others.. Only me..;)

There's no "easy" in the term, "horse power" reguardless or number of cylinders.. Some of us v6 guys put just as much time, sweat, and blood into our machines too.. For me again, it's a fun hobby that I know is'nt going to be cheap.. "Cheap and HP" don't run the same race, again reguardless of cylinder number.. But I digress,, I'm like a v8 guy when it comes to 4 cyl engines.. Hatem! But I respect the guy whom actually knows how to build one strong too.. He likes what he likes, I likes wut I likes, you...........well ya know.

It's hard not to agree ........... I wanted to use the 3.4 l DOHC but a lot of treatment and complications ... I do not know if someone did it before, so I left this idea.....but DOHC it would be nice, I think.....:Poland:.....Now i think of about the turbo, my Polish head is working hard.....:drunk2:..........

v6 engines typically have two less cylinders than a v8

The trouble with an LQ1 in a RWD is the starter.. Mounts totally different and on the wrong side.. However I have heard of people trying to machine brackets.. However I have yet to see an LQ1 in a finished RWD vehicle.. LQ1 was a side sitter from day one whether fore or aft.. However the thought of an LQ1 or 3.6 has crossed my mind.. I've also been toying with the hybrid 3.4/3500 idea.. Then there's also the original plan for a blower.. This is the last season for the 01 to see the streets tho.. The next time it hits the road it will be a totally different muscle machine..:yup:
