Post My 2002 3.8L V6

I need some mods to make it faster (yes I know I need a GT but the insurance on a 17year old would kill me) Anyway Any Suggestions on Mods, Exhaust? or How hard it would be to convert to a v8 engine?

Thanks In Advance

Re: My 2002 3.8L V6

If you want to convert to V8 engine, go with a 4v. But as for the V6, start out with the obvious. Exhaust headers, True-Duals, and an X-Pipe might help significantly. Then a cold air intake of the sort, and under drive pulleys. Or, you can get a Vortech supercharger, and Nitrous..

Re: My 2002 3.8L V6

Is it auto or manual?
3:73's if it's a manual and 4:10's if it's an auto.You will acclerate alot faster and your 1/4 mile will drop a good amount too.

Re: My 2002 3.8L V6

I got my gears for $160 but they range from about $150-$210.As far as installation it may be hard if your not mechanically inclined.I mean it's not gonna be easy like a CAI.
