What are some things I can put on my car for some easy horsepower? I have a 3.8 series II v6. I'm looking to add as much HP as I can without supercharging it.
Thanks

Re: Easy HP?
as far as the intake, if you build it yourself... it's cheap... the exhuast, ok theres a few hundred, but easy... well headers can be a pain, especially if you break a manifold bolt off in your head=\... other than that, i agree with 96greenmachine, there isnt easy hp... nor cheap hp... atleast on our engines...
ok, ill leave the jerk's comment...
get a v8... 'nuff said.Comment

Re: Easy HP?
get about 2-3 of the turbonator setups off of ebay. Easy 75-100hp from that.
Performance chip off of ebay, easy 10-20hp within minutes
Some guys have seen great results from hooking up a leafblower to their intakes as well and running them with a convertor box out of the cig lighter to get the power.

Autozone or Murray's might be running a special on some APC stickers, they add about 5hp per sticker.
After all of that is done, SEARCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! USE SEARCH FEATURE!!!!!!!!READ STICKIES AND MODIFICATION ENCYCLOPEDIA LINKS AT TOP OF FORUMS!!!!!!Last edited by 97rs4life; 05-31-2007, 12:09 AM.Comment
