3rz's are great on gas and gives you the power you want from a 4cyl.

Stick to gas, with all the new laws coming down it may be hard to get it registered.

My personal experience with the toyota 3. slows are terrible!
3.4's on the other hand are great.

Stay with what you got, regear and have plenty of power. Lack of power is usually the wrong ratio
