  • I dont know what to do next!

    I have a 3.8L 2002 Camaro. With a whisper lid, K&N airfilter,Magnaflow cat back and a hypertech PP3,I also have rims and tires,I'm wondering what i can do that will give me more horsepower that will not cost over a thousand, i have heard headers arent really worth the money? someone please help.

    headers are the only thing I can think of other than like suspension stuff. You've come to just about the end of the road as far as cheap bolt ons are concerned. I'm in the same boat. Nitrous is a good bang for the buck for hp.

        with the manifolds you have i dont think headers would give you a big hp boost. Most other mods would be 1G for parts, but then alot more for install.

        Not for hp, but you can get gears/lsd(250+150 install) and shocks(308) and springs(175) and still have 100 bucks left. These are ebay prices for stuff i am looking at.

          i agree, gears are certainly the way to go.
          if you have a late model 3.8 then headers arent really worth it.
          nitrous
          is always an option, just make sure to follow the basics
          I will take on all comers...or come on all takers!!! Whichever you prefer.

            *****NITROUS***** if you don't want to have something that big, like they said, gears and do a posi unit while your in there. if your a a4 get 3.42 gears, if your a m5 get 3.73 gears.

                      LSD, 3.73s or 4.10s, underdrive pulleys, straight-pipe/highflow cat, headers, lightweight rims...

                        will the 3.73s lower my top speed a lot cuz i still want to hit the 110s ya know, and will the headers and highflow cat give me a louder sound out of my V6 or is it not worth it?

                          you will still get in the 110s (unless you still have the electronic speed governor) headers and high flow will DEFINATLY give you more sound.
