ok so other then a k&n air filter what should i get/use for easy HP , i work at pep boys in the service department, so parts and tools are not a problem. i'd also like to know what brands to get.

 

The air filter won't do anything for you; but the whole intake will. Look into the K&N or SLP intake. The SLP runs like $120 and is a good start for anyone. After that, the next best thing to do is exhaust. Headers and catbacks are both great bangs for the buck. Pacesetter makes a pair of headers and y pipe for the 3.8 Camaro, and there are a lot of catbacks out there too (Magnaflow, Borla, Flowmaster, Dynomax, SLP, etc).

 

Check out FAQ thread

 

yea that search thing dont work

 

Don't forget suspension -- SHOCKS! -- HP is no good if it's not manageable on the street!

 

im not lookin for a race car, thats when i get a z28.i just want a lil performance

 

the best thing is the CAI and the headers and catback exhaust your car likes to breath too and the stock intake and exhaust is like having a cold its a btch

if you want some serious power may i suggest forced induction maybe not so cheep but 80 - 120 HP is a good start (depending on your boost)

 

If you have problems putting 200 HP down, there's something seriously wrong.

Easy horsepower? Sell your car and buy a Z28.

Kinda easy horsepower? Buy a SLP air intake system and a cat-back exhaust. Borla is awesome. Magnaflow and Flowmaster are decent. And a Flowmaster system isn't going to restrict a 3800 (I checked ^_^ No difference between it and my old magnaflow setup). Borla is still the best all around
