H.o.

[ty quintana]

I have a 2000 Grand Am GT1 which has 3800 Ram Air V6 (this reads on the left and right front fenders), so lately I have seen two Gt's with a V6 H.O., in this same spot. What is this H.O.?

HO always used to mean High Output on the old Pontiacs.

AND BY THE WAY...THE GRAND AM DOESNT HAVE A 3800 IT HAS A 3400
THE GRAND PRIX HAS THE 3800 ENGINE

To correct, your Grand Am has a 3400 (3.4L V6), not a 3800. The Grand Prix has the 3800.

Pontiac put the V6 HO labels on '99 Grand Am Gts, but switched to V6 RamAir for 2000 to 2002. It's the same engine, just a different fender badge. All '99+ GTs have Ram Air. 2000+ GTs however recieved a few minor computer tweaks, which added 5 ft-lbs of torque over the 1999.

And you're correct, H.O. stands for High Output, and was commonly associated with the Quad4 HO.
