I know it can. I've seen it. Couldn't tell you what mods he had on it, but I know that it was a 3800 engine.

so why do you think that it is not able to do a wheelie? (GIRL)?

I really don't know if it can or not..My guess is it won't, not enough power. If you put all that money into it for the power you are going to need, the motor isn't going to last long anyway.

yeah it will and all the parts will probably make it last even longer. Plus the engine will be like new because you would have to change most of the parts and would be worth the money to spend.

every video of a gn i have seen have them pulling wheelies and they all weigh more than the firebird. just get some really sticky tires and a 100 shot of no2 and you should be able to no problem

Mmm...forged internals and aftermarket rear ends... <drool> Got a guy on LS1.com with a 3800 that will smoke most moderately-modded V-8 F-bods (exhaust, intake, TB, semi-aggressive cams).
But...we're talking some serious $$$ put into his 'little V-6'

ive seen those little 3.8's run 11's
that would smoke most anything that isn't highly modded or if it isn't a ferrarri enzo

many n/a 3800's in the Montes and Grand Prixs are running 11s....most if not all of them have CSC kits or Turbos

I think it could wheelie...they made an ambulance wheelie on Monster Garage. With the right stuff you could make anything wheelie...like a bus or a train....maybe not :lol2: The GN engine is extremely powerful, all that is missing on the Firebird is the turbo! (along w/ the rest of the engine), unless you have the anniversary V6. TransAm owner do you have a TransAm or do you have a V6?

thanks guys this is ALOT of help on my idea. Im lookin into buyin that CSC Kit...The Novi 2000 is capable of producing 25+ PSI on the 3800 and has the potential to surpass 550 wheel horsepower and produce 10 second ¼ mile ETs.

your bottom end wont hold anywhere near 25 psi
i would say 10 psi is pushing it, im not the expert
