    Yes you can drop to a 3.4", just be sure you've got enough money lying around when you blast a rod or piston to pieces. To run a 3.4" safely on a top swapped car your going to NEED headers, your going to NEED either an IC or Meth...and supporting mods like plugs/wires/t-stat/ported blower/TUNE for important than all of the other ones though.

    The point of top swapping isn't about pulley size like the L67/L32 cars...your making the same amount of power with half the boost because the higher comp makes up for it. That's why a bone stock top swapped car with a tune and headers will run door to door if not beat a 3.4" setup GTP.

    i know about all the support mods, i wouldnt drop or anything unless i had the money for full support..but i didnt know that a top swa[ had that much more power. thanks for the help blue, i didnt know that it gave u THAT much more power..i thought just the same as a stock gtp.

    I'm doing my LIM right now, and kinda kicking myself for not soing the Topswap. But I did get an HV3, so we'll see. You can usually find a good used HV3 in the used for sale section..... usually less then $150 shipped.
    Its just a car.......with rust and dreams for the future!!!!
