Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Too Slow, Time for a build (GEN V/N*/L32 Lim build)

umm the series 3 3.8 is worlds different than the series 2.....the casting on the oil pump housing and many other parts are alot smoother which you wouldnt think is much but if you did think that then you'd be a dumb ass. those are the more efficient and better flow modifications over the two series.

right right. just manage what you can with your budget as of now. then when the time comes, make the switch.
 
yeah hippo lmao......ok im done. I just dont like people thinking i dont how the whole vehical works....i assure you i do.
 
so pages 2-4 i skipped...youve been warned. you asked for my thoughts and opinions, here they are:

- ditch that northstar and LQ4. seriously. not worth the money. sell it and spend it on beer. the northstar throttle feel is like having sex with a bowl of jello. throttle body upgrades are meant for all out builds, which this is not.

- if you want to gain much, like flake said, you need to do a cam swap.

- you will not achieve this build for under $1000 since it's not worth the effort unless you spend more and get more.
 


stock engine dynoed 196hp
it dynoed 201hp with plog/downpipe.
after headers...it did 219hp - 18 hp gains
added cam...it bumped up to 243hp - 24 hp gains

THIS WAS WITHOUT A TUNE

want real proof?
DO IT YOURSELF AND WASTE LOTS OF MONEY

just my two cents!
 
you wanted proof! there it is.
i have 278hp on a 3.4 pulley cam headers and full exhaust, and afr at 11.8 NOTHING ELSE DONE

EDIT:
LOW BUDGET BUILD!!!
Stage 1 Intense Blower cam $200
MPS $50
Full Exhaust $150
Headers $125

less than a 1000 bucks
