I own a 1994 3.4L V6 Camaro. Do a Cam change. So you do have the 3800. A supercharger would give you a substantial gain in horsepower, but it's kinda costly. Get a performance cam, get a larger bore throttle body and a less restrictative exhaust system. Your engine has to breath right in order to perform at it's best. I've got a Flowmaster exhaust on mine and it does great. Also consider changing your rocker arms with roller bearing type rockers to reduce friction in your valvetrain. Less friction= more hp. If you have an automatic get a B&M shift kit for your tranny, that will give you awesome firm shifts to get you off of the line better. Also get a aftermarket prom chip. Higher flow rate fuel injectors will also help free up some horsepower. This info is the same as your other post, I know. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Hey no problem I love to help people out. Here is what I found: Magnaflow Catback Exhaust 512.00 Or you could go with Flowmaster which has an American Thunder Exhaust system for 292.88 I hope this is what you were looking for. Keep in touch!!

I agree with $Firehawk94$ shift kits are a nice add-on for camaros,I just recently bought a 96 camaro (base) with a 3800 series II and my friend mark,who has a 97 LT1 Z suggested a shift kit,he told me the results it would have and is all I have to say! "Feels like your neck is breaking" in first and second (if u have an auto) still feels like it...I have an auto,once I get a job definatly gonna get a shift kit,along with flowmaster duals,I suggest this to anyone who wants to get more hp without upping to a LT1,Nitrous is always good too,but if u dont got the right"guts" in your engine,it'll cost you DEARLY.One more thing you could do is those of you(idk) if chevy didnt make em hood with the vents,(looks like ramair) why not make it,pop the plastic vents out and make it a functional ramair hood.Mine came with ram air but comes through the front .Hoods look better.Cold air intakes are always good....around $213 i belive for an AEM but dont quote me on that.Those are just some mods I can suggest those of us with v6 3800 II always wanna try n compete with those Z's haha well good luck with all your guys camaros send me some pics of your rides n u guys can view mine through the photo album. Peace

Thanks for all the info. The only thing I've done so far is put in a K&N air filter and put a one chamber flowmaster on my ride. So now i have more things to add thanks a lot.
