A BIT OFF TOPIC!!
Are we still insisting the 3400 UIM is better than the 3500?
Sorry for the interupt, but I'm getting confused, and for an old man it's easy to do.
BTW that Kool Aid sig is REALLY ANNOYING!Last edited by asylummotorsports; 11-16-2009, 09:46 PM.Comment

It is easier to deal with on a 3100 or 3400 equipped vehicle.Ben

That doesn't answer my question.Originally posted by SappySE107 View Post
Is in fact the 3400 UIM a better choice over the 3500?
I have a 3500 UIM that was ported (waste of money as far as any diffrence it made on a pretty damn well tuned car) but if there is an advantage using the 3400 UIM I want one!
AGAIN...Sorry for the hi-jack, but this is stuff we need to know from the guys with the flow benches.Comment

I think the Kool aid siggy is awesome2002 Pontiac Grand AM GT K&N WAI, Pacesetter 2.5' piping/SLP loudmouth exhaust, Magnaflow High Flo Cat
2006 Pontiac GTO 6.0/Iron 370, Kooks 1 7/8 Longtube headers, Mahle forged pistons, Scat H-beam forged rods, Custom Cammotion boost cam, Magnaflow Catback exhaust.
Coming soon: Trickflow 235 heads & Magnacharger TVS 2300Comment

I wish all it took was a flowbench to know everything. Its merely a tool for better guessing. A ported 3500 upper will outflow a stock 3500 upper by a large margin but you say it is worthless. Therefore, the bench flow is not the only factor to deal with.
So far the only real world feedback we have is the powerband is broader with the 3500 upper. There is debate on nitrous distribution based on the varying flow per cylinder due to the TB extension. Again, flowbench tested, but we have nothing real world. EGT on each exhaust port would be a good test.Ben

I didn't say the ported 3500 UIM was worthless. I said it didn't make any difference on my car.
And from what I have seen and experienced I have pretty close to the best tune out there on a stock N/A engine. On an auto no less and the 5-speeds can't best it. (But they're getting close.)
I have also conceded that my LIM is NOT ported and that may be a consideration as to the optimum combination.
But it appears I have dragged this off topic and I'm sorry. Just wondering out loud.

How did I know you would start talking about how great your tune is?Ben

'cause I'm a cranky old man, and it just happens to be pretty good.
I just wish I understood anything about it.
