    safely modding your 3800.

    marry it.

    or just read it 90 times before saying that 3.4" stuff, ESPECIALLY with a GenV car.

    what do u mean dont put the 3.4 i read your thread and u said it will be fine but i am kind of confused with your reply. So will it hurt me or not i dont plan on doing any thing else to the car but an 160 or 180 I already put a bit colder plugs and wires I am also going to build a cold air intake thats it nothing more. I just dont want to hurt my car. I just want a little more power

    3800 Performance has the DHP PCM...best mail order tune ever for the 3800...tried and true for years. I actually just found out a couple days ago that the guy who started Digital Horsepower lives less than 20 minutes from 3800's Business location...so if they have any issues they just call him up. And if you want a custom tune...I'd find a local GP forum...and see if anyone tunes there. For the GenV you need to compinsate for the more efficient supercharger. Like they said...a 3.4" on a GenIII is more like a 3.6" is GenV...you'll make as much power if not more, with less boost, less heat...and less parasitic loss.

    No 3.4 without some more mods for sure.

    Last I heard the O2 sim doesn't work on the 04+ cars. Just get it tuned out if your running catless.

    Did I not say the 3.4" was too small?

    Or did I not explain it well enough...
