Re: suggestions for summer project

after the success of my first major project (transmission swap,) im thinking about starting another one this summer. i will probably be starting a tech college for mechanics so that will only help. i want it to be performance relating to the engine. budget will probably be around $1000-2000. i want it to be a fairly big project.

ive been throwing the idea around of the gtp supercharged 3800s, but searching here it sounds like thats pretty much out.

open to any suggestions!

If I were you, I wouldn't mess with a cam swap because the cam is the heart of the engine. You lose reliability if you would tweak it. The factory cam, to me, is pretty decent. So you have a budget of $1k-2k? You could lower the gear in your rear axle if you haven't already done so. It's a good mod and it takes advantage of existing torque. I'm with the guy that said weight reduction. Power-to-weight ratio is important if you are talking about speed. I don't know what else you could do. What are your existing mods?
