Hey,
New here...I am hoping to get alot of good help and information in my quest to make my car my own. I have a question, what is the best cam I could get that I don't have to spend a ton of money and use with stock heads and springs? What does duration and lift mean?
 


you need TONS more research before you even mutter the word cam again. read read read, then repeat, then maybe think about it
 


Thanks for all your posts....got read and read more. I have done some research on cams but I'm sure their is plenty more I need to know. Thanks again.
 
That link for safely modding your 3800 powered car...was awesome. That was incredable information and will keep that on file. To the guy who wrote that...thanks. I'm sure all the 3800's that read that appreciate the information that was given. I know I do. This is a great forum and seems to be a lot of guys here that have a ton of knowledge on grand prix's. Thanks again.
 
I just want to thank you for that link "modding your 3800 powered car" very awesome! To guy who wrote that...thanks. I will keep that on file. I bet al the guys that own a grand prix really appreciate it. Thanks again.

No problem, glad it helps ya.
 
Thanks again for all the input. Now, I was looking to get more into adding internal mods to my engine. I have the vs cam and looking to get springs, lifters and what else you think i would need? Right now, I am going to be adding a MSD Ignition control Mod, New radiator, hoses, 10.3 wires, msd coil packs ( yeah didnt realize until i read the thread about them), and some other suspension mods. I did buy a NOS kit. Will these mods I want to get make a difference for the L36 engine? I also have a flowmaster exhaust with u delete and res. I have a HYPERTECH v force tuner and will that make a differnce? I was thinking of a DHP/PCM upgrade or will that make no difference, since I have the tuner? Yeah, I probably went about this the wrong way but thats why i'm here. To ask questions from the best.

Thanks.
 


Now when you say tune..my mechanic should be able to do it...right? Now..your suggesting I shouldn't get the reprogrammed pcm? Yes..the mechanic has been in the business for almost thirty years...I would sure hope he knowshow to tune correctly. One more thing does anyone know the L36 max horsepower rated for? How not to blow my engine.
