TA22frog,
A quesion like that on these forums wil get yo quite a range of responces. You have to remember you are now in Toyota country and some of us are pretty one eyed on our prefered power plant or Toyota. Its all in good fun tho so don't take much of anything written around here the wrong way.
But anyway on to your question, In order to really answer it we need to know what your budget and expectations are. A 3T can be an Awesome bit of gear. Depending on how far you want to go with it they may not represent the best bang for your buck.
Factory they are a low compression uninspiring boat anchor but they do have ALOT of potential if you know what your doing. Keep something in mind here. A poorly reserched or packaged engine will yeild poor results. ALOT of forum goers will blame poor performance on the engine rather than acknowledge they built the wrong combination.
If you want a mild power increase for minimal dollars, the 3T probably isn't the go unless you can do the work yourself. If you can built it yourself then T series parts are relativly cheap and a Balance 3T with good compression, the right can and headwork WILL beat a VN commodore off the lights. Just don;t fall into the trap of BIG is better with your cam selection. If the traffic light grand prix is your sport then you want something than comes on strong early.
But anyway hope that gives you something to start on. Oh and yes I have had more than my share o T series engines (Still do ! )
