97 RS: need more power
 

hello all, I've had a 97 Camaro RS with the 3.8L for about a year and I think its time I started to put some work into it so I wanted to add some power to it quickly and inexpensively, does anyone have any recomendations that I could use. Thanks

The reason I want to do this is because my friend just got an 03 mustang cobra and i can't stand getting my a** handed to me on a silver platter by a crappy ford!!! SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!!!!!

You could swap engine, or go forced induction, or go the nitrous route. Nitrous being the cheapest and least work. The 3.8 is pretty sturdy and should be able to take a good nitrous load.

I considered those routes, but nitrous seems sort of a temp solution, and the engine swap is a little bit out of my league, thanks for the advice and I'll look into the forced induction, but if anyone else has any other suggestions, lets hear em.

start off by rearend gears, and then headers, the only way to go is forced induction for the 3.8's they respond very well. here are some good 3.8 site's http://www.turbov6camaro.com/home.htm

Alright, I need some advice here. A freind of mine is willing to sell me his 84 Camaro w/ the V8-305 engine with 489 hp and the R704 trans. Like I said I have a 97 Camaro RS w/ the V6 3.8l engine. What the chances of me actually making a seccessfull swap with the engine, and trans cause I know the trans I have in my Camaro can't even handle the engine from the 84 camaro. What am i suppose to do make this swap a possibility.
