^This...all of it.
I don't understand why people try to make a N/A 3800 v6 fast. It just doesn't work! By the time you spend the money to cam and ect. your half way to a turbo kit and spent just as much as a top swap.
These engines like to be blown.

To properly build up a n/a motor is to bump the compression ratio install larger valves port the heads to be able breath more then u go to a cam upgrade wit more duration preferably a single pattern cam dual pattern came are usually for forced induction cars and you'll need a tight lsa around 110-112 that lsa of 115 you see in cam specs is to keep the vacuum high and to keep the computer happy but to point if u get a n/a 3.8 to have a cr ratio of 10:1 wit a single pattern cam headers 3 inch exhaust better gearing in trans porting the heads out install a torque converter wit a higher stall for better launchs then u have a fast n/a car cost u alot though especially if you don't know how to tear Down a motor and how to smooth out pistons polish valves etc
