How can i get cheap hp out of an 02 firebird 3.8 series 2?



moved to L36 section......


PCM tune, 1.9rr, SLP lid, Slp ram air intake, Borla/Corsa exhaust, bigger TB.... you will be dang close!
 
unless you switch to some form of forced induction (blower or turbo) youre not going to get much out of it unless you spray the crap out of it.

Don't send the kid to the playground with the retards.

If you want real information go to

I will agree that 1.9s will do some good, but I've found on these cars that a TB is useless. The 02 cars have drive by wire and are un-portable. even if you did, and the motor went out on it, you have to throw it away. the cars intake flows enough air with the stock one anyway. after doing the bolt-on's your only inexpensive option is the juice.

Knock out a lid and headers. (pacesetters are the cheapest alternative, but there are a set of longtubes that have put down some promising gains.)

If you are talking about making 260 to the flywheel, this is very possible. If you are talking about to the wheels, you want to reconsider. The current n/a record stands at 275hp. your car without mods to it is about 170 to the wheels.

Dose all these upgrade go for and 02 GP also or is it just for the Firebird?

well you can't put the long tubes on, and we don't have drive-by wire throttle bodies that the 04 and up GP's have... but other than that we share the same motor as the v6 f-bodies.
 
Sweet how much are bigger throttle bodies and do i have to upgrade anything else to support a bigger TB
 
i was hoping at least for 260 to the flywheel, and i was looking online and found turbo kits for around 600-800. would that be what i would need and would i have to uprgrade anything else?

you diddnt find kits anywhere for v6 f body's. Currently there are no bolt on kits avaliable. If you want one, however, Force fed fabrications can make everything you need.

the only thing that i have found different between the gt and the f-bodys is the way they respond to tuning.

I had my camaro tuned by Gary and if you are familar with the guy hes great at the gtp's, Has it down to an art. Unfortunately when we bolted the gtp's sc to the car, his tuning skills were no match for it. I ended up going to a good friend of mine and we shifted through it and sorted it out.
