Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. Actually, I have found a Buick 3800 that I am thinking about putting in. After all, the '88-96 Buick Regals had 3800s and they were w-bodys just like the Grand Prix. Thanks for the Ideas, I'll keep ya posted on my progress.

what should the redline on my engine be? the tach marks 7k i think, but it shifts at 6,500, maybe 6.Comment

Mine's 7,150 and I shift around 7k
It sounds nice at those RPMs too (sorta, but I have a fixer for that- a 96 intake that will move my powerband up 1k rpms, then I will change my cam timing to bring it back down where my peak is right at my shift point so my powerband is more broad). Took my friend for a ride once, had a rolling start around 10mph, put the hammer down, front end got squirrely, nailed 2nd at 7k rpms, front end got sqirrely again, nailed 3rd for a bit and let off. He grabbed the A pillar and exclaimed "It's too fierce, I don't like it!" He was used to his Festiva, rofl! This was with the original intake setup and 13* cam timing.
Here is our 2005 meet, and my car was the first up- with Josh narrating and Ben as the heckler. Just sucks my cat was plugged then (that's fixed now
)
BTW, I hate how cars look so slow on video...Last edited by pocket-rocket; 09-24-2009, 06:38 PM.-60v6's 2nd Jon M.

It was test and tune night. His car was stock besides aesthetic mods and it was an auto. At least it was a 420a

A Chrysler engine used in the DSMs and Chrysler cars. It's a 2.0l DOHC 16 valve engine. I don't remember what year Mitsubishi started using them in the DSMs, but they were the ones you got if you didn't get a turbo car (that had the 4g63 engine).

For 200 you could have one of my 3.1's.... but you'd have to come get it or arrange for shipping.Lifting my front wheels, one jack at a time.Comment

Where are you at? I'm about 35 miles NW of Des Moines, Iowa. I can come to either Iowa boarder to get it, but you'd have to meet me there.1988 Grand Prix - project

you could get another 3.1/2.8 for dirt cheap at the junk yard locally. i gave mine to a guy for free a few years ago.. and it only had 30-40K on it.. lolComment

Except the Neons have a reverse flow version. The intake is on the front and the exhaust is on the rear, vs exhaust on the front and intake on the rear for DSMs. I've no idea why they did that either...Originally posted by SofaKingWeToddDid View Post-60v6's 2nd Jon M.
