1998 3.8 performance?
Hello everyone. Im new to this site and had a couple of questions...First off, I keep seeing these adds for turbonators that "add up to 35 HP for $69.95"... do these actually work and if so does anyone know how well one would work for my 1998 3.8 manual stock camaro (125k mi)? Also, assuming it is a good value, is it something I should add on after I do other things (intake, exhaust, etc...) or does it not matter? Finally, off the subject, my girlfriend drives a 2004 stock v6 mustang (auto)...she swears its faster than my camaro but is scared to race me. After driving both I think mine might have the edge but im not sure since she won't race! Does anyone know how big the engine for an 04 v6 automatic mustang and how it would compare performance wise against my 98 3.8 manual camaro (both stock)? Any insight on any of these topics would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Re: 1998 3.8 performance?
Forget those turbonators they are BS. There have been lots of tests done on them and the best results I ever saw from them was that they didn't reduce HP. If you are looking for Mods do the intake and exhaust like you were talking about and check out this site. It's got a ton of info on mods for V6 F-bodies.
http://mods.firebirdv6.com/ As for the race I'm not sure who would take it. Was the 2004 the first year of the new classic body style? If so I think she might win, the newer ones have a littel beafier V6 than the last bodystyle. Only way to know for sure is to line them up, hopefully at a track and see who crosses the line first...

Re: 1998 3.8 performance?
actually I think it is more like 210.
As for v6 performance you would be much better off directing yourself to www.fullthrottlev6.com rater than camarov6.com/firebirdv6.com. More information, less liese and morons who dont know what they;re talking about

Re: 1998 3.8 performance?
I beleive in 2004 the Mustangs were rated at 193. I've never seen a V6 Stang go at a V6 Camaro, but I imagine it will be pretty close. I'd advise every weight saving trick you can think of, it might be very close.
