    the only thing i can find on their site reguarding a race/boost ported intake is the LIM for a 3400, i guess i need to contact them to find out the optimal set up. im also looking at the street/ strip turbo cam, i would really like to be around 375 hp or just a bit over. is this obtainable on a stock bottom end. if i remember correctly the rods are forged from the factory. im also looking at a garrett gt35.

    If you want the best performance, get the race/boost ported intake from wot-tech.com

    3500 heads on a 3400 will be beneficial for boost or N/A. they flow considerably more air, meaning you'll need less pressure to achieve whatever power goal you're shooting for. on the other hand, given the same pressure, you'll make even more power. WINs all around.

    you may be referring to the 3500 UIM, which is lacking compared to the latest 3400 UIMs.

    first turbo build questions

    hey guys im gearing up to build a 3400 turbo for my 89 cavalier. i have purchased a 3400 and it will be delivered next week. i was planning on a 3500 top end swap but i got to digging deep in this forum and found it may not be benificial because i will be going with forced induction. please verifiy this for me. i want to get on the ball and have WOT build a set of heads for me asap. i have picked up some literature on turbo builds and currently working thew the equations for selecting the appropriate turbo for my application, but i was wondering what some of you are running on a similar set up. i know i have plenty more questions i just cant think of them off the top of my head.
Working...
