how the SMGPFC is here to kick ass and chew bubble gum....
Yay this pointless thread just reached 4 pages:p
Its not pointless....
Think of it as a compass at the magnetic north pole....
I don't understand why people try to make a N/A 3800 v6 fast. It just doesn't work! By the time you spend the money to cam and ect. your half way to a turbo kit and spent just as much as a top swap.
These engines like to be blown.

The weather here is nice today.
To properly build up a n/a motor is to bump the compression ratio install larger valves port the heads to be able breath more then u go to a cam upgrade wit more duration preferably a single pattern cam dual pattern came are usually for forced induction cars and you'll need a tight lsa around 110-112 that lsa of 115 you see in cam specs is to keep the vacuum high and to keep the computer happy but to point if u get a n/a 3.8 to have a cr ratio of 10:1 wit a single pattern cam headers 3 inch exhaust better gearing in trans porting the heads out install a torque converter wit a higher stall for better launchs then u have a fast n/a car cost u alot though especially if you don't know how to tear Down a motor and how to smooth out pistons polish valves etc
three inch exhaust and smooth pistons.
huh.
Smoothing out pistons is a engine builder tricks it prevents hot spots from forming
A single 3 inch exhaust pipe is all that's needed but then again I'm
use to building carbed sbc flat tappet blocks but same principal goes for the 231 v6
*groan*
I think you missed the point.
