horsepower options for stock v6

[Pearl86]

What are the best options to increase horsepower out of a 3.8 v6? My plan is to eventually grab a 350 but until I can get the money to do so I want to get some use out of this v6.

If you're trying to save money, drop in a "good" used 350.
That alone will get you up and running fast.
Then, as your income permits, you can start with upgrades, rebuilds, etc etc..

Sadly the only way to get good power out of one of those is to do a GN turbo setup and that is NOT cheap. Like 454 said, drop in a good used 350.

Theres nothing you can do to it besides put it out of its misery Ritter bought a brand new 3.8 crate with edelbrock intake and cam. Still a nutless pooch. However to answer your question, you could buy an intake, cam, I believe they make headers for it and slap all that stuff on there but really it isn't gonna make it any quicker than a 4 cylinder car.

yeah...save your money for the swap...my v-6 rebuilt or reman'd would have cost me as much as my rocket motor did...and Im much happier with the results
