  • Newbie saying hello

    Just figured I'd say hi and announce myself as the new kid on the block Currently driving a 97 V6 firebird unmodified. Looking for a T/A tho preferably with low miles and a 6-speed so if you know of one let me know. Yet again hello to everyone

      If it was not for the V6 cars the V8 cars would not exist. We owe it all to them. Welcome to the forum!!

                Thanks that works I'm ordering them as I type this . Also glad to see there are some other V6'ers on the board. Has anyone tried one of the turbo/super chargers on a 3.8L? Just curious about how much more power I can get out of this little guy Also to those fellow V6 folk what mod would you recomend first as far as the engine/exhaust goes?

                      Tried?!?! I have one...



                      Not the same exact motor, but pretty friggen close. A blower or turbo on the 3.8 will definitely get it to scoot quite nicely. As for the exhaust, check this out...
