I'll help point you in the right direction
Under $400 is a bit tough, but here are some bang for the buck NA mods.
Downpipe=$80 to $130
Intake=$50 to $250
Plog or headers=$180 to $350(cheapest well performing headers)
HV3=$300 (EXCELLENT NA 3800 mod)
These prices are for NEW parts, used parts can be found in the For Sale section for great prices.
Start out there and pick your combo.
You will also want plugs and a t-stat as Nick stated below. (I figured those were a given but meh, whatever)

Tuning is a definite essential.

Ok...since I'm a dick...
180* T-Stat
Autolite 606 Spark Plugs
ZZPerformance 3" Catless Downpipe
Custom Fenderwell Intake (You can make your own for like $50 or so)
Flipped Motor Mounts - Free
Then if you can afford it...get a TransGo Shift Kit from Dave at Triple Edge Performance

Yes, and a tune, I felt a HUGE difference after a tune when my GT was still N/A.

HUMMM sounds familar, where did I hear that before????
10-30-2009
I heard 2 1/2 inch downpipes would suite n/a gts better and 3'' downpipes are better for sc grand prixs
10-30-2009
you heard wrong. stop posting useless garbage. 3" or nothing.
10-30-2009
Yea maybe the guy building 8,9, an 10sec grand prixs an rebuilds 100's of 3800 trannys told me wrong maybe but oh yeah the homer simpson internet guy is right... Maybe??

he uses 2.5" d/p's on his 8,9, and 10 sec gps?!?!?
11-03-2009
I think he was trying to say that the guy who builds 8-10 second GP's says a 2.5" works well for a N/A motor. The real question is, why would you want to keep your motor N/A...
he uses 2.5" d/p's on his 8,9, and 10 sec gps?!?!?

Actually, yes. Listen to Homer and go 3" How often do you think your "mechanic" actually works on Grand Prixs often and knows how they work better than people who own, eat, breathe, and sleep grand prixs and have done so for years. If you didnt want to know how to do it right, then why did you even bring it up. Seriously, if you dont want performance advice then dont ask for it at all. If you dont understand why or disagree, why dont you just ask. Then you will know also. Why dont you just try to gain some knowledge on here instead of just bringing up useless stuff?Yea maybe the guy building 8,9, an 10sec grand prixs an rebuilds 100's of 3800 trannys told me wrong maybe but oh yeah the homer simpson internet guy is right... Maybe??

you should move back to big bodes. we are clearly too educated for you. anyone that uses a 2.5" downpipe is stupid.
11-03-2009
Just stop giving advice, your avatar is homer simpson so OBVIOUSLY your car knowledge is far inferior to the dude with the pumpkin car. Let him take it from here
11-03-2009
3" works better for n/a too. dont let anyone convince you otherwise.
