    One word of advise, never build a 3800.

    Install a aftermarket cam sure, but doing anything bottom end related is a complete waste of time and machine shop money. They can handle 500-600hp atleast with the right tune. You remove 1 main cap or 1 rod/piston, it's machine shop bound.

    Hard to say, I guess it depends on how deep your pockets are and tuning ability on this stuff.

    Also the transmission is your weakest link, it's not "new" anymore. So it's always on borrowed time and adding mods isn't making things better. True that some can handle a decent 3.4 setup but going past that into the 260-300whp range you are playing with fire on a stock unit.

    A built transmission to handle 300+whp or any turbo car will be atleast 2500-3500 for a nice one with good parts.
