    I have a L36 and after reading posts, seems that a turbo, top swap or L67 and HD tranny are the best options. Modding a L36 wont get you far, unless you add a turbo.

    Since I still have a good L36 and tranny, I have been working on visual, suspension, and exhaust mods. When the L67 or turbo is ready to go in, the supporting mods will be in place.

    The only engine mods I have are a cold air intake, PowerLog, 160A alternator, ZZP radiator+tranmission cooler, and 180 thermostat.

    A new intake, Cold air intake(CAI) is the way to go, but a short ram air also does the trick. either build your own (theres a sticky somewhere with detailed instructions) or buy one.... with the money left over I'd put in new spark plugs and wires <---make sure you get guaranteed for life wires available at your local parts store. people recommend autolites plugs either 605 or 606....

    one you get those done, read the sticky called safely modding your 3800 in general tech for what route to take next.

    hope this helped
