    hey everyone, a little new to this site, i dont know ever number and aspect to the grand prixs, always wanted one now i got one.

    i have a 98 SE 3800 project. i bought some hids from a buddy and he mentioned something about an intake upgrade sorta....
    i realize when you take the intake off that there is an insert that comes out effortless. he said that there was a difference between the se and the gt intake inserts? or the whole intake? or that it was a zzp upgrade?
    its a question wayyy up in the air.... just trying to get some more info on it thanks

    also.....
    what are you guys's inputs/oppinoins on....
    spacer plate without s/c?
    bigger injectors?
    north star t.b. without s/c?
    just seen a few mods, wondering how it would help/hurt?
    you guys have a few low cost tricks to add/free up h.p. on a base 3800 motor?
    thanks
    keith

    Idle down turbo, don't get ahead of yourself. The intake inserts are the same from the factory, HV3 is ZZPerformance's upgrade.

    By spacer plate if you mean a phenolic spacer... No it won't work N/A.

    You don't need bigger injectors or a N* at this point, read, learn and come back to that thought.

    The trick to adding/ freeing up power on a N/A 3800 is Boost.
