For 500$ you really cant do anything that will add any considerable amount of horsepower, at most, maybe 15-20 optimisticaly.

 

V6s dont respond well to modifications.. not like V8s anyway. Best bet would just go full exhaust.

 

Don't respond well? You sir haven't been to FTV6.

 

you must have missed that part.

 

The 3800 actually responds to mods much better than most 6 cylinder engines...

Give me your $500 so I can go buy a cam for my car ^_^

 

No I saw it. Horses at the wheel might not be the same, but horse power gains from bolt-ons are about the same. Headers on an lt1 will add about as much ponies as headers on a 3800.

Spartan you are a expert congratulations you know everything and anything.

 

What I'm saying is that headers and exhaust will give in the vicinity of 20 more horsepower, be it v8 of v6. There's plenty of 300 horse 3800's running around that are n/a, y'all just haven't seen them. The latest one I saw just had higher compressions pistons, and a very slight stroke done on the factory crank.

 

Who are you? I was kidding brosef ive seen plenty of 3.8 Mustangs and Camaros that are faster than most V8s...
