I'm new to the forum and just the other day bought a 96 v6 RS and am wondering what type of easy engine upgrades I could do. Just wanting a little mroe horsepower. Any thoughts are appreciated.
Thanks

 

Most start with an exhuast upgrade. I have a basic 96 camaro with the auto tranny, so here is what I did and the cost of it. I had a 2 and 1/2 inch pipe ran from the cat to the back and then split into 3 1/2 inch by 22 inch echo chambers for like $78. then I removed the mass air meter screen in front of the throttlebody, free mod. And since the air route from the filter to the throttlenbosy is so restrictive to start with, i simply removed the filter and a couple of peices around the air box, then cut a small square hole in the valance rught under it to allow cool air to the motor, that was free to and what a difference in the top end. Now my only problem is a slipping tranny. This was the cheapest route for the most perfomance. I'll post some websites later.

 

if your looking to drop into the low 15's my brother designed an cold air intake for ur car that will make u run in the low 15's with only an exhaust and that if interested just hit me up at jbricks1@aol.com

 

Hypertechs Power Programmer III could help you out?! I think you can find them on ebay pretty cheap, and then once you get your tuning, sell the thing. All up to you, just my thought.
