is it a noticable performance increase i got a 94 3.4L camaro

if its a factory car and if you live where it get very cold i wouldnt do a 160. Maybe a 180.
Unless those 3.4s run cooler than the thirdgens already but i dont know

the 3.4's are prone to overheating...was a very common problem with them i read...i know the 94 3.4 i had overheated if i did over 60 mph so unless its super cold i'd get one and i doubt you will notice any increase in performance...it may help but i doubt it will be noticeable

you will notice a gain if your computer is programed to run a 160 degree thermo (turning the fans on longer etc..)

:iagree:

This is a more sensable approach. Using a 160* stat you run the potential of not being in closed loop, then you'll notice a difference, starting iwth terrible mileage.

I ran my 160 for around a year with no tuning or anything, it DID stay cooler, it DID switch to closed loop, and all that other crap. Of course it's better with tuning but it still helps without

Using a 160* stat you run the POTENTIAL of not being in closed loop,


potentially, not definately 'crap'.

2 identical cars with identical setups can run entirely different at different locations (i.e. elevations, temp and humidity, etc.).
