Well, all this in mind... i lean more toward the 3.4L swap. DIS ignition, OBDII computer system, Capable of a supercharger. Easy to work on.

In my opinion the 3.0 has enough faults on the outside to make me veer from it. it does NOT have DIS igition...still running a distributor in 1995? also, the air flow meter is that of a lawn mower. to make HP you need Air & fuel. I also think the computer programming is weak. I used to write software for GM performance cars like my 89 Corvette. Stock ran 15's.... swaped all bolt on stuff.. ran sub 13.5's. I think toyota could of done better, but they were thinking "reliability" with it too. so they stuck to the basics. i think before the OBDII computer systems emissions killed performance. so manufacturers had to go with crap performance and parts like wimpy AFM's etc. either way.. it's outdated. I could do a 3.4 swap in a weekend. that's what i'm going to do. I'll start running cheap oil & filters on the 3.0... start saving money there.. but still change it. i have 135K right now... runs like a dream. by 150K i want my 3.4L with 60K miles.
