Your mind.

IMO, the 2.3 > the 2.4.

Actually, that engine is still quicker than the 2.4 (10 more HP, and higher rev's). When I had my 95 Z, I dusted my fair share of 96+ Z's and GT's.

Besides, if you already have a 2.3LO, upgrade it to an HO, not a 2.4

I need to find the sources again, but I've read more than once that the 2.3 was 160hp, not 150hp.
My experience, albeit the "butt-dyno" method, tends to agree.

OK, 'nuff thread jacking. No one has answered the OP's question yet.

if your car is a manual then forget about the 2.4..find a 2.3 HO from 89-94 and youll be able to bolt in 30 some odd more hp power..uses same mounts,same sensors,same wires,same tranny...and its an auto then start thinking about getting some parts off the HO to upgrade..youll be alot happier with your 2.3 than the twin cam..all of us that have done this will agree
