I have a '96 camaro, with a 3.8 v6 out of a '98 camaro...what are some cheap mods that i can do to improve power...and please include prices if you know them....and i already have exhaust(flowmaster 80 series)...

thanks

 

motor swap

 

Can i get a serious answer please...and i was gonna do that when i had to replace the motor, but it would have cost me ~$700

 

cai.. make one, or buy a used one...
errrrm, if its a 5 spd, i LOVE my short throw shifter, so get a used one for cheaper....

LSD, if u can find one, i got mien for $100 before they ran out of them at SLP, man, that has to be the BEST mod!

how do you make your own CAI?

 

Buy some ducting and clamps from Home Depot and a K&N Cone filter from Summit, probably a total investment of fifty or sixty bucks. I'm not sure if anyone has a writeup on this, maybe do a search of previous posts.

 

Is there anything else you guys would recommend that is cheap?

and is there any sound clips of the 3.8 with headers that you know of? i would like to know what it sounds like....

 

How much $$$ do you have to work with. Cheap to me might not be cheap for you.

Are you stock? Modded? If so, what mods?

 

my motor is stock...and i dont have much money to spend now due to the motor replacement, but i will have more....what did you have in mind?

 

I don't have any recommendations yet since it would be helpful to know how much you can devote to this project. $100, $200...$500?

 

well right now about $150....but there will be more money later on....

 

any more ideas guys?

 

$150 isn't much.

With such limited funds, I can't really recommend a mod with the exception of maybe finding a used CAI.

With $150, I would do a tune-up to make sure the car is running as best it can. New plugs and wires can do wonders.
