Fixing the Monte

Superman09 · 12-08-2008, 01:15 AM

I blew the oil "dummy" shaft on my 95 Monte Carlo Z34 and despite my best efforts wont be getting a new car so I have to fix it. Anybody have any good ideas for adding more power to this motor. I don't want to do any motor swaps but besides that I am game for just about anything. I will be pulling both heads doing a timing belt and water pump while I am in there so everything is fair game. I already have a CAI on its way and am having a custom exhaust made so those are already taken care of. As I will be keeping this car until I get my Camaro I would like to make it alittle more fun to drive and alittle faster. Thanks for the help.

other than a computer tune, that's about the best you can do without sacrificing some driveability and gas mileage

I am not to worried about gas millage, only pulling about 12-14 as it is. And for drivability that isn't much of a concern either, it is a DD but I can live with rough.

12-14 IN A MONTE

thats bad, hell after all of this i would hope that would go up. Do they make a super/turbo charger for a monte.

Yeah my millage is bad but most of my driving is only 5 miles to and from work. As far as superchargers and turbos, Superchargers no not without an engine swap. And turbos kind of but it takes alot of custom work and I don't have the equiptmant for it at the shop I work at.
