    Difference in 3400

    the new equinox has the 3.4 v6 with 185HP and 210 TQ and my 02 GAGT has the same 3.4 but rated at 175 hp and 205tq, whats the diff in them? and it produces the power at a little less RPM, 3800 compared to 4000 on the GA

    Different intake manifold, most likely different exhaust manifolds as well as PCM tuning.

          ok, well thats kinda funny, so it makes me curious how much of a diff there is, whether it is just ported or actual design diff

                  that plenum should be reversable... hows it fit the other way?

                    It is reversible... Problem is that its basically a 3500 plenum with a 4-5" hump on top of it.
