200 hp? naw u dont....
but however if u wanna get there or above there...

for the main hp: get the heads p/p or get a custom cam...
supercharge it or spray it...

without forced induction...get a stall if auto...gears, headers,
cold-air/ram-air, catback, cut-out, Dr's/slicks etc...

or just do a v8 swap =)

200 HP...yes, at the engine.

200 HP to the wheels...no.

There are tons of ways to make more power with the 3.8 engine. Its simply a matter of how much $$$ you are willing to spend.

I'm not convinced of P&P has on our engines but I do know that a cam will do A LOT for your car. My friend did both to his car and I was far more impressed with the cam than the P&P.

I can't tell but if your car is stock, I'd suggest getting a CAI and a catback. Just those two will allow the engine to work more efficiently and you'll notice a difference. And those two shouldn't cost more than $500. Well...around $500 at least.

Give us a little bit of info so we can try and give some suggestions.
