Where should i start?

[01V6]

Being new to the car and this forum, i dont know much about the 3800 series 2. Where should i start to begin yielding some power to the wheels?

Get an FIPK from K&N(Expensive, but worth it) and then do a cat back and a 100 shot of NAWZ(JK)!!!

I have been unsuccessful of finding a nitrous kit for the 3800

Don't shoot NOS... stick with bolt on for as long as possible.. But in warning you now man its going to be difficult to find parts for that motor.

RK Sport actually makes a set of headers that are made for the V6 F-Bods. However, I dont remember if that particular set also comes with the matching Y-Pipe. A full exhaust (i.e. Headers, Y-Pipe W/ High flow cats, Cat Back) and full intake, (i.e. the K&N FIPK, MAF ends) should yield you a considerable ammount of power. Im sure theres also some additional power in the free mods as well. Try the IAT Resistor mod! If its an automatic, I would highly recomend a mild shift kit. Thats should definetly put a little "pep" in the sluggish feel of the tranny.

oh yeah, I forgot. I have headers on my 3.8... They aren't RK Sport though, they are Pacesetter. RK Sport and Pacesetter are the only 2 companies I have found that make them. They appeared the same, and RK Sports were $100 more, so I went for the Pacesetter headers. The only issue I had was the left header and the steering column. I had to compress the outer pipe a little bit to avoid contact with the steering column. Still, noticeable performance gains and makes the exhaust sound pretty mean for a V6.
