try edlbrock, i dont know a website but they cant be too hard to find, they have an ad in every car mag on the planet. i know they make parts for 4.3 and 2.8 litre 6s, so they might make one for a 3.8. also try comp cams (www.compcams.com) they might be able to custom grind a cam for you. i hope this helps, if you need any further information feel free to e-mail me (badcam_83@hotmail.com)

take a look at some of the stuff at www.thunderracing.com They have some intakes and exhusts n'stuff for the 3.8. Try to find a local speed shop that will do a port and polish for you! Altogether, you should be able to get up to 275 horses, without a supercharger. If you want a supercharger check out http://www.ftforce.com/V6_camaro_supercharger.html they have a supercharger for your car good for up to 90 HP!

hey i had the same problem but its not that bad. pace setter and rk sports makes headers for a 3.8 camaro and they fit on the firebird. K&N makes a cold air induction but its pricey. any speed shop will sell peaces of 3 inch polished intake in almost any angle for very cheap.any cat back exaust system off a v8 firebird will fit on a v6 even the muffler check on e-bay for other parts i saw a supercharger for a v6 for about $150. hope this helps

hey guys i am a 3.8 fanatic if u guys r serious about power you need to go to some buick grand national sites look for grand national engine blocks and all that stuff then got to www.intense-racing.com for your heads cam etc the thing left to do is get the grand national manifolds most used blocks come with them if not just search grand national performance parts. they have all the stuff needed aftermarket turbos etc.intense can flash your pcm so no error codes will set and still pass inspection in some states. the only thing left is to determine how much power you want and whos car you want to stomp good luck guys 3.8 fiebird for life.also try thunder racin for suspension like kmember.
