Thread: What upgrades are available for the GT 3800

I look at you guys with the gtp with the goodies and I was wandering if theres anything I can do for my 99 GT 3.8l

What can give more power &
Save gas

(better if not too expensive or even free)

New intake?
Exhaust?

What do you recommend?

depends on your goal but if youre looking for really simple bolt ons, then headers intake tuned pcm will give you more oomph.
flip your dogbone bushings too, thats free.

Headers, intake, exhaust, tune, HV3, cam, top swap, u-bend delete, coils, plugs, wires ect..

i love these poast! lol

Great. I'm researching all these upgrade.
If you can give some details on each upgrade and how much hp u gain that is awesome.

driver mod <this will yield the most results or then

Intake, headers (or plog,downpipe), HV3, ER rockers, NGK plugs, wires, poly upper mounts, and a tune. A solid 30-40hp gain at the very least.

Sell it guy a gtp!

This is what I did. I wanted to mod my GT, thought about a top swap even.

Eventually decided it would be much smarter to just buy a GTP.

Is this what u guys talking about?
Laser spark plugs?

What flipping the dogbone give u?
Some ppl who tried said there's no difference.

Turbo and tune.

Ignition system upgrades will make no difference (plugs, coils, wires) stock is more then enough on a n/a 3800, unless your spark plugs are very old then get new ones

its either er rockers or cam not both, cam will make the biggest difference but its a lot more work for only a few more HP so how desperate are you ?

If you want to remain n/a, then try doing all of the mods in my signature

You want the highest recommended and cheapest mod? Research. Don't just be throwing stuff at your car if you don't know what you are doing.
