Modification question

[Will]

I have a 96 camaro 3.8 v6. I am looking for more mods. Here is my current list so far:
1. SLP cold air intake
2. Motorvator TB spacer
3. Pacesetter Headers/ y pipe/ high flow cats
4. Magnaflow catback
5. MSD ignition system/ coils/ wires/ plugs
6. 3.42 rear end gears/ LSD
7. b&m shift plus
8. Hypertech 160 thermastat
Thats my list so far. Other than forced induction, nitrous, or internal stuff what else can i do to get some more horsepower out of my car? Its hard to find stuff for the 96 3.8. That is all i could find

new torque converter
cutout
underdrive pully

Do you know where i can find an underdrive pulley kit for my car? I cant find one for it.

That's because thay aren't made for the 3.8, only the 3.4. Next on your list should be transmission upgrades: torque converter or gear swap.

underdrive pulley kits are only for a 3.4l, us 3.8s don't have any kits

i'd reccomend uping the gears in your car to 3.73 or possibly even 4.10s if you really feel like goin crazy. i'm thinkin about makin that one of the next things on my list, after leather interior hehe.

[Go4broke]

what about suspension upgrades? that should help you get down the road or track faster

[Ian]

torque convertor, aluminum driveshaft(good for .1 off ET), suspension stuff (LCA's for launching, etc.), and why not go with a cam or the ZZP Rocker Arms?

also, id ditch the B&M ShiftPlus.....every post ive ever seen says it messes up your trans.

Its already been proven that our V6 cars are slower with the 3.73, 3.42 will give youthe best ET's.
Stefan, had 3.73 and ran a faster et with the 3.42's.

Holy hell....there's someone else from Alabama here? Anyway, Ian's right...get rid of the ShiftPlus and then look around for a Corvette 1-2 servo. You can get a new one, seals and all for about $15 on Ebay. I installed one a couple of weeks ago, and for what little it costs it's well worth it. It doesn't give you neck-snapping shifts, but you'll be able to feel a little quicker 1-2 shift and a little more pulling power.

I saw that you have the SLP ram-air kit. Have you made any modification to the airbox lid or intake bellows? If not, you might want to check into that.

CAM will be awsome upgrade :D

This CAM is only $87 and with lifters it will bring you up to around amybe $180+. Crower makes solid CAMs. I got a realitivly mild CAM on my 3.4 and it made a world of difference in my car [img]graemlins/naughty.gif[/img]

If you look at the CAM page in @

You will see the top two CAMS are crower for the 3.8

Yeah, I agree with these guys. Ditch the Shiftplus. I had one in my car and I think it ultimately led to the demise of my tranny, now i'm on tranny #3.
