v-6 n/a power boost

Who was the guy on here that totally redid a 3.8 v-6? Im getting a 98 firebird and im going to be getting the heads planed and port and polished while they are out. What kinda gains would a port and polish get for me? Aside from that what else could I do while i have the heads off that would get me a little kick and be preventative maintanance for this motor that has 140000 miles on it. Maybe rockers arms, is it hard to do a cam? or expensive?, bolt on stuff. this motor is already an up from my 305 minus the initial torque, but every little bit helps. Wheres a good v6 power site for firebirds and camaros with free mods and more. Thanks.

thats Philly_RS I'd say if you have hte option /capability, get another 3800 do all the work on that with less miles and keep that one until you do the swap. Philly will answer the rest of your questions

this isnt gonna be a racing or big performance motor thats not what im goin for. ill do an ls1 swap for that. I was just wondering if there were any recomendations on what could be done while the heads are off to give a little boost. This will just be a normal daily driver nothing serious....yet

Philly's the man....

Well then since you're doing the port and polish do the engine balancing while you're at it.

What does engine balancing entail?
