Cool Just introducing myself

My name is James Justice, pretty cool name I think.


I do own a Monte of my own. It's a simple 2003 3.4L 207ci LS
I am very young at only 20 years old
Lastly I am an active duty Air Force member
I love my job and my car and i'm looking forward to putting some performance parts to make it a little less simple and more of a sleeper. they're just gonna think it's slow!
So if there's anyone out there that has any suggestions as to where to start and what would be the best way to go with performance please send me a message with your suggestions.
Oh a little info into some recent maintenance done on my pride and joy, I have just replaced all of my seals down to the head gaskets. new water pump and a hydraulic lifter because it had some deterioration on the roller.

Hello. There isn't a very large aftermarket for the 3400, but you could get a turbo for it I'm sure. To make it a true sleeper that will haul *** IMO, you need to swap the motor.

Welcome to MCF airman. Where are you stationed? Im at McCord in washington. Nice thing is as long as we dont go over seas we have nice constant flow of income to help with the modding. If you can do all those gaskets and seals on your car than nothing should be an issue for you. There are turbo's and the like for the 3400 to get you where you want to go.
