    Unless you plan on turbo'ing the living f*ck out of the GN, that swap is pretty pointless as you can just as expensively swap to a more potent V8 as you will need a new EVERYTHING.

    It depends on what kind of power you're looking for. If you're looking for stout performance that will keep up and probably beat most cars out there on the road, then the above will do just fine. You might have some trouble against LT1's with those mods but you should be keeping up with them at the very least...

      You should prolly stick with the series 2 3.8. Don't do 20 lb. fuel injectors because stock is 22. try 26 or 30's. do cm along with heads/lifters/valvetrain since labor will be the same. a fuel pump and tuning will be needed for the cam and injectors to get max fuel volume and the right air/fuel mix for your motor.

        A head/cam 3.8 is extremely fun and can run very well. For pricing, check out www.abbottracingheads.com or email me at wickedsix98@hotmail.com and I can help you out with anything you need!

        BTW, stock injectors are actually 19lbs, the tech part of this site has it listed incorrectly.

          Do you have any reference for this? I've seen at least 15-20 posts here by people saying they were 22s (what I always thought), but I only see 1 or 2 saying they're 19s.
