A friend wants to know if it is worth Ram Airing her 3800 V6. Would you have to change the maf or will the computer take the new air flow into account.
Thanks in advance folks.

Well what makes it not worth it? Would it not give better performance. Better throttle response? Folks we are not comparing v8's here. Not everyone is into the V8 thing(don't see why but whatever) She's just looking to add a little. So with that in mind...BMR Strut Tower Brace, BMR anti-ways, Adj.

Re: Ram Air V6
Yes, the MAF will take the new airflow into account. The ramair hood and airbox will be a direct bolt on for a firebird. Is this a Camaro or Firebird? The camaro SS hood and intake box will not just bolt up to a V6, though.Originally posted by bluejs75

Well, as a V6 driver, I would say it wouldn't be worth buying an SS hood or anything. That would be a little overboard IMHO. But....there are those cold air kits that route air from down by the air dam where it is cooler. They are supposed to add like 15hp or something, and I would imagine they would improve to fuel economy as well. They can be had from tbyrnemotorsports.com and I think SLP sells them as well.
If she wanted to buy the hood just for the looks and didn't mind shelling out the bucks, then what the heck, go for it and might as well put the air box on there as well. I just wouldn't want to look like I was trying to make my V6 look like an SS, is why I wouldn't do it. Plus I think the cold air kits are supposed to give better performance anyway?
And don't expect a good, straight answer from alot of the guys on here about modding V6's, we V6 owners get crapped on more than pampers.
Oh well...one of these days when I can afford an LS1.........

Thanks for the info guys. We appreciate it.
Todd, if anyone can afford a V8, she could. I'm sure the garage that the V6 sits in over night, and what's attached to it, is would be the envy of quite a few V8's.
