Ok, I would really like to make my little v6 a bit faster than it is right now. Any suggestions? And btw, by a bit faster, I mean as fast as it will go.

Your car can only go as fast as how much you'r able to afford. Let us know the budget you'r working with and we can help you 10x better.

buying a V8 would be the cheapest for best power gain...

gears and a detroit true trac, a CAI and UDP for autobadges.com, complete exhaust tuner are a good start, get a powerpack from supersixmotorsports.com if you can

my 98 was bought for $16,300 new in early 99

my 99 GT was $27,450 bought 2 months later

my 98 has $5,000 extra into it and rapes my 99 GT so no it wouldn't be cheaper to just buy a V8 unless you buy an old Fox or a V8 with more miles than your V6 does

well lets see...i have already put a K&N cold air intake on it, and some off brand crap exhaust, but ill get that changed sometime. i have about $1300 saved up so far that i could stand to drop into it, but if i need more, i have time. ive put a little over $4000 in it already, mostly with looks. i thought about gettin it chipped next, that only about $400. but i really dont know anything about an engine, so i dont know anything i can do. aside from the ever famous procharger
