Postby Coonman88 » May 19th, 2016, 12:16 am

Well this is a beaten path lol but yes i have a 3.9 cpi an eb and its a solid donk no smurfs with hammers live in it in any way shape or form the gearbox is smooth as ya mrs beaver but its no tarmac terrorist nor a scarer of the local asian car fan genre but im a different lad and ima keep it in so no talk of mpfi or conversions etc aint hapnin so how do i go about atleast putting a crease in the tar seal no boost or squirts as ive heard the cpi doesnt take kindly to cams etc nor high heat being a 3.9 its no slouch it can boogie but aint no 4 litre i love the old bird to bits prefer it over the 4 litres as my opinion they sound throaty under load and serve their purpose 4 litres run rings round them but the simplicity is awsome and feels good to drive anyhow any help would be muchly appreciated ive had a few but never bothered till now lol cheers :cool:

You have a way with words. Not really sure what you're asking though.

You have a 3.9 that you're really happy with, but it's no "tarmac terrorist". You don't want to do anything to it, but want it to go better?

CPI skids:

1. Oil or water or KY on road, preferably a court in a leafy inner eastern suburb
2. At least one mate lifting a rear guard (have PGR roll the guards first so fingers don't get amputated - safety first!)
3. Pegga lyf

Back in the day when most people used to laugh at the 3.9 (not much has changed) however they can get up and go. A few others And spent quite a few years upsetting the v8 commodore clan with the old 3.9. Depends the budget but I would start here.

Ef manifold mpi conversion with an rpm activation switch
5 speed manual
Diff gears

That will wake her up on a budget if you diy.
