if I were you, using a v6...I'd just do one of the following.

1. Nitrous(wet kit)
2. STS Turbo kit.

Either of these are your best bet. The turbo will always be there, the nitrous only when you hit the button granted you have a fairly filled bottle.

Any other chose, In My Honest Opinon, is a waste of time and $$$ for the power/$$$ ratio.

I wouldn't suggest a nitrous kit. We all know what happened to "jason-1995fbody" when he used it on his 3.4. I'm just not a big nitrous fan though.

My suggestions are bolt on mods, such as:

Intake (Preferably K&N)
Headers
Hi-Flow Cat
Cat-Back exhaust (suggest Magnaflow)

Those are just mods to help get your engine breathing better. That should give you enough satisfactory amount of power gains to get you started off.

he had a dry kit... Never run a dry kit. also we don't know how much timing he had taken out of his enigne. nitrous makes the charge burn quicker so you have to remove timing. Hell if you have enough of the shit, you don't have to have any advance at all. It will burn fast enough to have 0 degrees of spark advance

Gears are a huge bang for the buck mod and combined with Headers , Cat back , CAI and some tuning can make a world of difference but if your looking for a major increase in performance , your looking at forced induction or NOS.

Agreed. That's why if you re-read my post, its a wet kit. Just make sure when it is hooked up that the jets sit between the Mass-Air Flow Sensor and Throttle Body. Also if you do this, run colder set of plugs.

hey boss hogg check out the guys at www.firebirdv6.com look in there mods section and join there mesage board
but on another note stay away from the dry shot it is easyer but a wet setup though it can still cause problems you dont have the worries of goin lean and breakiin stuff
