    SSAC or SD headers, 175-200 dollars and make your own intake for starters, making ur own intake should cost a total of like 30 dollars
    EDIT: if u really wanna make it faster tho, top swap it

    My suggestion would be to read the "safely modding your 3800" thread.

    Cheap, not really. About all you can do 'cheaply' are, Headers, Intake, and an HV3 insert + a tune.

    If you're wanting to actually make more power, then a Topswap would be the next cheapest/easiest (besides nitrous, but most people around here don't mess with all that jazz)

    If you're still not happy with that step, get a GTP, and do the headers, intake, tune, and a pulley drop.


    Then, if you realllllyy aren't happy.. and wanna spend lots of money, and have someone to do a good tune, Turbo your car, and be respectably fast.

    Save your money, and slam it. Embrace low and slow...Better than 4x4 and slow. No way to make a GT worth it, unless you Top Swap or Turbo.
