2009: blew the cammed 3400 in feb, so i ripped it out, and picked up a 3500 from an '06 G6. 210hp stock. added port work, my old cam(machine shop said it was still fine so i used it), custom pushrods, a pair of 3500 front manifolds, a new stage 3 clutch, and some other misc. junk. didn't get to dyno it last year at the bash because just as i was pulling up to the rollers, the power went out, and was out for the rest of the day. and it's how it sits now, other than snow tires for winter. rust gets a little worse every year, i'm gonna have to blast the bottoms of the doors and try to slow it down this year. it also needs some little stuff, new strut mounts, redo the poly motor mounts, new radiator, little junk. once i install the headers i should be in the low 13's easy, shooting for those high 12's if i can drive it good enough. i'd be the first N/A 2nd gen in the 12's, so i'm really, really gunning for it. my good friend Dave has/had a 91Z that did 13.0's, but never hit that 12.99 mark, so i'll take over from there. '09 pics: http://foreverpontiac.com/index.php?showtopic=268

decided it's just easier to get pics from each bash. btw best time with the original 3.1 was 15.99 2007: changed a few things. had my 3400 swap done, bone stock internals, dyno'd 191hp 202lb/ft. Best track time with the stock 3400 was 14.8. never had very good traction. broke an axle once on drag radials. Went from the sunbird spoiler, to a cavalier Z spoiler, and finally to a Beretta GTU spoiler. i've stuck with the GTU one since, i love it. ^Locked my keys in my car LOL 2008: changed again. added the cam, some port work, etc to the 3400. got my 17's and some alright tires. forgot to mention i added the flip-up headlights in '07. best time on the cammed 3400 was a 14.5. with 224whp i should have been much lower but i never had traction, again. broke another axle on drag radials with this motor. it blew in feb. '09, spun a rod bearing. had 100k+ on the bottom end, 15k of which was me, so oh well. i swear it's not an autozone advertisement, even though it looks that way

headers and slicks coming with taxes 32" equal length primaries 24.5/8-14 slicks ran a 13.75 borrowing the slicks form my buddy(only time at the track with them), buying them and his headers, shooting for 12's N/A

I bought my 'Bird in 2005.... it's hard to believe i've been messing with it for that long, and have taken it from bone stock, to where it is now..... but it's fun to look at pictures as it progressed Dec. 2005, first day home. you can see my first sunbird in the pictures. that you can't see is the whole passenger side where it's caved in smashed while it was parked. later: Summer 2006, added a Z kit from an 89Z my buddy parted out BASH 2006 once a year i get'r really nice and cleaned up, and here's what i end up with. after the z kit but before the bash rolled around i lowered it. Sprint springs + KYB GR2 shocks/struts, poly sway bar/end links/control arm bushings. addco rear bar came in spring of '07. more soon....

thanks for that, i'll have to put a thread up in there soon thanks for the replys much appreciated

there's nothing wrong with the 2200 except it's underpowered. the older LN2 had better power :S port and polish, up compression a bit, +1 valves, and a cam = win ecotec swap isn't worth the work IMO. i guess it's not as bad in a 98+ but in anythign older(i.e. no BCM), unless you wanna use something like a megasquirt to control the engine, it's WAY too much work

Window Weld works for a while. but after a year or two it's likely to harden up and crack and break. i had one break apart and return to stock form basically it is a good cheap mod, but if you want a nice long term modification there's ways to do it better. 2-part polyurethane mix from mcmaster-carr is awesome, it's 30 bucks a can though, and only does a mount and a half for my car....

But i'm the first poster. Hey everyone. My name's Damon, and i have a problem since i haven't quite figured out where to put a mod list on my car, i'll put it all in this thread for the time being. Hope everyone enjoys it, and also hope i'm setting a nice benchmark Yeah, it's got some rust, but it's an average 92 with 150k+ miles. i'm fine with that. if i ever get serious enough about it i'll find a rust free shell. but for now, form follows function. 1992 Pontiac Sunbird SE •~ 3500 build ~ •Custom front engine bracket(made by me) •#36 3800 S/C Series 3 injectors + 00+ FPR •1617 cam from 60*V6 Store •Comp 26915 Valve Springs •Fully ported heads •P&P Plenum •P&P Lower Intake Manifold •Polished Combustion Chambers •EZ Clutch Stage 3 clutch •Stock Tranny •2 3500 front manifolds, 2" downpipes •Fully Poly Trans Mount •Fully Poly Front Mount •Custom Poly Dogbone(Fiero bushings) •WCold Air Intake(header wrapped) •Full 2.5" Exhuast •Hooker Aerochamber Crossflow Muffler •3" Rolled Edge Slant cut Boom Tube tips •EGR Deleted •A/C delete •Misc. painted engine pieces •Coolant Fan Switch •Custom tune by Dave(WL2) •Z hood •De-badged •Removed Side Moldings •GFX from 89 Z, w/ wagon plate holder •Removed refractor things from tails •Beretta GTU spoiler •Flip-up headlights •Sweet Pedal Covers •Full trunk carpet •Rear shelf done in black vinyl •rear side panels from 88Z(black velvet) •Deleted middle rear seat belt •Lighted mirror w/ switches from Cutlass 'Vert •Switch panel where stock radio thing goes •Fold-down rear seat •'03 Stratus Shift knob and boot •17x7" Drag DR-8 Wheels •215/45/17 Riken Raptor tires •Poly Control arm bushings •Poly 30mm Front sway bar bushings •Addco 1" rear sway bar w/ poly bushings •Poly Sway bar end links •KYB GR2 Shocks •KYB GR2 Struts •Sprint 1.7" lowering springs •Delrin inner Tie Rod bushings w/ stainless sleeves •Rear Engine Bay Braces (2nd Gen ph2 4 door) •Front Engine Bay Braces (1st Gen 2 door RS) •ABS Disabled and Removed •Non-ABS Master Cylinder •Welded Control Arm Seams •Stainless Braided Brake Lines •Ceramic brake pads •2960lbs with me in it.... •Rodney Dickman GM FWD Shifter rebuild kit •Aluminum Bushings For Shift Cable Ends •High perf. stickers, 5 hp each •Factory plastic strut tower covers I guess let me know what you think
