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'

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 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
