my new 97 firebird

[97silverbirdV6]

i just recently got my 97 firebird V6 and i put a k&n filter on it and flowmaster exhaust. i was wondering if someone could help with ideas of what i should do next and also if anyone knew of any good websites i could go to for the performance parts.. thanx for any info.

I would go with an aluminum d/s or new gears... bolth of which I thought realy "woke up" my car real quick. ;)

well i have a powerdyne supercharger setup for the 95-97 3.8 if your interested shoot me an email
shock_@hotmail.com 2300 shipped

other than that, there are headers out there, cia headers better quality but 700 bux and prob the same performance gain as the rksport 400 dollar ones. roughly 5-10 hp ??

if you do not have a posi in the rear or say 3.42 or 3.73 gears.

Do you have an auto or stick? do you know what gears you have in the rear? Do you have 4 wheel disc brake or drums in back?

There is a lot of things you can do just hang out here and read what others have done.

My car is auto and has drums in the rear and discs in the front. i dont really know too much about the car but i would really like to know of some good but not too expensive mods to do

for about 300 bux or so you can change the rear end to that of a z28 with 3.42 gears and a posi and you end up getting the rear disc brakes.

Like whats stated above, the rear-end out of a Z28 would be nice. You get posi with higher gear and rear disk brakes which is in a nice package for like $300. I think you can get it from www.speedautomotive.com. Also the aluminum driveshaft is also nice.

Just look around and read a lot of posts. People here are cool and they all have different set-ups, so you get so may ideas of things to do.

What part of Jax do you live in? Do you ever go out to any of the weekend car shows?

i appreciate all the info everyone is giving me but i need alittle more such as do they a ram air kit for my car without having to have a ram air hood? also should i put a cut out on my exhaust?

v6-bird with no problems?????

come on guys help me out i got some money to spend (but not a whole lot) and i need your advice

A cold air induction kit would be a good start. I cant belive on one has really mentioned this yet.

Check out SLP's cold air induction and K&N's FPIK cold air indcution.

I have the SLP, they are similar in performance but i liked the SLP's look better.

And the rear end, which is the rear axle, including the differential and brakes is what you can get for $300. It is a great add on for the price. And not too bad of an install if you have a little car knowledge and a friend handy.

The rear axles from Z28 or formula, trans am, or whatever are completly compatable with your V6 model.
