oh sorry i meant cam, im new to a v6...... im used to me old sohc 281.....

but any who, wouldn't a cam make alot of cheap hp??

 

Can you install it yourself? If you can p&p the heads and intakes while you're at it.

 

Have fun with that project

 

Alot, like 15-20?

 

It helped mine...and made it sound 100 times better too

 

Cam isn't going to do much without giving the air more room to move in the intakes/heads. Do all at once and net yourself some real gains.

 

+1

Keep this in mind, the 3.8L does not respond nearly as well to mods as the 4.6L and 5.0 engines do. While cam(s) can add nice power on a V8 with little supporting mods, sixers need a little more secondary work.

But yea, if you can do everything yourself, then "cheap" power mod it is.

 

ok installing isnt a big problem, but what all is involved with p&p work on the heads and intake?

 

ehh i think i can put it in, but idk how to port and or polish..its right behind the water pump right?

 

Cam is aft of the water pump ... think 5.0L missing two sparkplugs.
