    ahem headers for a 98 from thunder racing? SUREEEE perhaps for your 3.4 rksport headers are worthless so are cia 5 hp gains are not worth 500+ dollars plus a 300 dollar install if you cant do it yourself.

    Yah I realized that which is why I changed my vote to the rear end + driveshaft idea. I might do that next come to think of it. (I really have to upgrade my fuel system though)

      i would say get a shift kit and a v8 servo for your car. i think its one of the best mods for an automatic. just my opinion though.

        I have to agree with the shift kit and servo. Its a huge SOTP difference.

              There are plenty of great stories about Nitrous installed on a V6- and there are horror stories too. Ask James, or Shirl, or Magnus because they're all sportin' the 3.8 and have broken into the 12's running Nitrous.

              P.S. Using nitrous will help clean out any carbon buildup crap inside the motor. (an added bonus)
