Me vs MKIV Supras do I have a chance with my V6 lol
I just bought my 1992 Chevy Camaro RS a week ago. A week before that my friend bought a MKIV Supra N/A. He says he can beat my Camaro w/ no mods. Unfortunally my camaro is sick and runs like crap lol. In my little town of 5000 people in Wyoming we got 2 MKIV Supras here, my friend's N/A Supra and his friends MKIV Twin Turbo Supra. Should I put money in my V6 or save up to buy a LS1?

Dont throw money at the V6 unless you're just trying to be different. You won't go fast unless you go pretty extreme. I'd save up for an LS1 if you're trying to go fast and you've got those two options. That or get a Cobra and do a kb swap so your handle matches your car.

v6's in fbodys are a money pit no reason to build one up unless u happen to have a turbo trans am but thats a differnt story

I could bore out my V6 into a bigger one, it will be cheap since my grandfather owns a machine shop. Add a twin turbo setup or a supercharger/procharger. and it could be fast. btw my friend is 15 and owns a MKIV supra lol

Ya the block got 124k miles on it, and 1992 was a bad year for the 3rd gen camaro since my camaro has a microchip in its key and takes forever to start, feels like i'm starting a diesel truck. i'll save up and buy a LS1 block and bore that out

It's not a microchip, It's a resistor and if you do a search here you can see how to by-pass it. Mine's a 90 w/ the resistor and it doesn't cause me any problems.

To put an ls1 is going to cost you about 5 times as much as getting a v6 and turbo it. People are always selling v6's after a v8 swap ($100-$200), ask around.
