        you are going to need FI or nitrous for that kind of power. Building a motor is not going to net you that much.

            Keep in mind, fur tuning the 3.4, you're going to have to use MegaSquirt or F.A.S.T. Without learning how to use one of those, it's completely pointless to build it up; it could be a very nice build, but without tuning will run like crap!

              I have for sale a turbo kit that came off my 3.4. The car ran a 13.43 in the 1/4. You would still need to fab up some piping and run oil to and from the turbo. The FMU in the kit adds fuel under boost. This set up was on a stock engine.

                  A FMU is a fuel management unit. It's installed in the fuel return line and under boost it will prevent fuel from returning to the fuel tank. The extra fuel pressure is sent to the injectors. I'm asking $500 for the kit it also comes with bigger fuel injectors. Check it out under search type in v6 turbo kit incomplete.

                    At the end of Part Three, we changed the valvetrain of the 3.8-liter V6 in the Tom Henry RS. We installed new, Yella Terra "Ultralite" 1.8:1, aluminum roller rocker arms, Katech valve springs and Katech titanium retainers on our 3800 Series II V6.
                    Ultralites are nearly 25% lighter than the stock 1.6 rockers and 8% lighter than the SLP aluminum...
