would tuning a 3400 have any benifit, or would it be a waste of time and money

no motor comes from the factory perfectly tuned....
just depends on how much of a difference you consider worth your time/money. -
i didnt know its my moms car so i would only be looking for mabey a bit of power, better trottle response, some better mileage (if thats possible), and i have friends that tune for like 80 bucks.Comment
-
all of those are possible, depending on how its running now. got any way of scanning/logging it?Comment
-
my neighbor scanned it a couple months ago it was running perfect. its great running engine the oil even still looks new after 2500 milesComment

If it's your mom's car leave it alone. lolComment
-
lol. you dont know her she has owned powerful cars her whole life, corvettes, camaros, ect. she like that bit of extra kickComment

if the oil still looks new after 2500 miles, one of two things are happening.
the oil isn't cleaning the engine like its supposed to
or
it is just running absolutely perfect.....Comment

i vote #2 lol as after 2500 it starts getting darkerComment
-
or #3 you are driving it on the highway and not hammering the hell out of it!

as it should because oil picks up the moisture and contaminants that get produced by combustion....
so if someone ever tells you their oil comes out as clean as it goes in, you know something wrong is going on....
EDIT: isaac, most of my miles are at 55mph or above with little throttle, but occasionally they get exercised. seems to darken up on me as it should.Comment

all town driving. with occasional hammeringComment

to be exact after 1000 it still looks new after 2000 its discolored but still very clean and at 3000 it is just turning brown. not bad for a 110k carComment

since we're talking about it: Pennzoil FTMFW!
jake: that sounds about right. the monte owner's manual states that it can go 7500 in normal conditions, so i'm sure a newer 3400 can pull off the same.Comment
