    Question 07-04-2010
    I just bought a 2000 GT Sedan. I know quite a bit about 3800 motors. I had a 1992 bonneville with 300k on it all original. So I know how strong these motors are. The GT has pretty good power but I go to the drag strip quite a bit. There is a stock L98 Trans am that runs high 14s. I want to beat him. He's a good friend of mine and doesn't understand the potential of these engine's. I would like to stay NA without a cam swap if possible. I do plan on doing an L67 Top swap later on down the road. Just need info on the best mods.

    this. rumors are it took zzp every mod under the sun to hit 14's like you're trying to. a top swap will get you there so much easier, not to mention cheaper.

    or turbo/cam/IC setup and don't even give him a chance

    You'll need to wire in the MAP for sure...and get the o2 extended if you get headers...other than that I can't honestly think of anything else that needs rewired...maybe the BBV

    Awesome I think I'm gonna go ahead with the top swap. While i have everything apart I'm gonna cam it also. I already have a set of ported l67 heads off ebay. They were ported by a custom machine shop. What mods should I go for to run a 3.4 pully on the l36.
