    I have a 3.0 and a 3.1 in two Century wagons and the 3.0 seems to have more torque, is this correct? This may be unfair because of gear ratios and the 3.0 is a 3 speed and the 3.1 is a 4 speed automatic. The 3.0 has a carb and the 3.1 is injection :confused: , AL.

    The 3.0 is a Buick motor. Baby 3.8, if you will. The 3.1 is a chevy motor, enlarged 2.8. Buicks are torque motors and chevys are not.

    Your "seat of the pants" is properly adjusted, just so you know. :laugh:

    That makes sense! The 3.0 really pulls at 2500-3800 RPMs, ask the owner of a Honda Accord that was road kill :eek2: , AL.
