Are there any cheap mods or even free ones for the v6? Not necessarily mods that create alot of hp, because i know thats not simple, but even something that will make it more snappy and responsive. Im hoping someone could help me out!

cheap...no. start off with a cold air intake and exhaust would be my guess

K&N filter, TB Bypass, Plugs and wires......... go get yout TB Bored out at your local machine shop. Thats not all that expensive

or the best way is just sell yours and buy a v8

It's tought to get the little v-6's to move. I've found that a different muffler only makes the car sound better and not really move any faster. A K&N might pick you up a negligable amount of power and a really cool whistling sound when you step on it!

I don't know if you have a 3.4 or 3.8 but when I had my first Camaro which was a 3.4 I bought an intake, headers, ypipe, 3" cat, and the LM catback. I could instantly feel a difference in power from it. I think the headers did most of that but it really made a difference. In fact I personally felt more of the SOTP feel from installing the exhaust in that car than I did in my LS1.
The other biggest thing I did was install a rear end out of a Trans Am that had 3.73 gears in it. The limited slip really helped out and the gears got the car moving a lot easier as well.

i already have the TSP Rumbler 3" and my CAI is on the way...but i have a problem. i probably should put this in another forum but a mechanic told me that my intake gasket is bad. he said there was some build up/leaking and i can smell antifreeze sometimes when i get out of my car. but the thing is the temperature never gets higher then just over 1/4. is there a rush to get that fixed and do i loose any power/gas milage??

what is a TB Bypass?

paarman97maro

Youre just going to lose coolant little by little. Id keep on eye on your coolant level... If its not dramatically bad, I wouldnt worry about it now. You can just get embarrassed when you drive to car shows like I did when my water pump was going and had some guy walk buy and say "Someones leaking antifreeze" as I was backing in, hahah.

paarman97maro

bypassing the coolant into the throttlebody by putting a small hose from one side to the other... Thats not exactly it, but its the just of it. You wont see any huge gain out of it or anything, I belive it just keeps the hot antifreeze out of the TB so it doesnt warm up the air coming in as much.

I might be off, but I remember its somthing like that, correct me if Im wrong.

how much does the 3400 conversion kit cost and what would that do??

PHDcamaro

Intake Maifold gaskets going bad on 3.4's are common... i need to do mine since my car isnt moving at the moment

i think all GM intake Manifold gaskets suck now that i think of it

read the STICKY in the V6 section by Black34 called "an overview of the ....." something............. hes a really cool guy. he answered alot of my questions i had on that swap.... very good read

PHDcamaro

another good mod is a 1 piece driveshaft.... aluminum ones form LS1 cars fit and cam be found relativly cheap

ITSA6

yeah mostly those things are good another cheap one is change your oil regularly....well i do anyway makes me happy
