I need that license plate so people stops asking me... Literally the first question they ask when they see u driving a firebird

Beautiful! I'm loving these videos :)

that was very impressive

Ive owned a lot of 3.8,3.4's,3.1 and 2.8s. (No 3.3 or 3.5etc.) I feel like the OBDII ECU's fall pull far too much timing on hot days. I can vaguely remember driving incredibly conservative, on most days, leaving me good for mabye 1 WOT run. Cold nights are the exception.

cant wait to do this to my 3.8 camaro!

Me and my best friend cammed a 1999 firebird 3.8 v6 in highschool ported an polished heads we went in on it 50/50 that car made 375 horse and did a 12 second 1/4 mile trans am doors and hood it was a fucking beast miss those days I'm 22 now full time mechanic him as well would like to do another one if we can find one that's worth it we ran 93 in ours it looked like crazy

would love to pick your brain for information about that car. I have a 2000 3.8 camaro and want to do the same. How tough was it to cam and port and polish the heads? Think i could do it by myself?

That v6 is no joke! Im thinking of buying a V6 firebird found one for $800 blown head gasket I already have a 99 trans am with a built motor and wanted to do something different.

I would turn the speedo back to zero all the time in 01 on my way to work in yosemite.. n/a it pulled 240whp after headers back, MAS and throttle body swap, RAM air mapping, clutch ect... my 03 monte carlo with almost same set up and after mapping was almost the same but was automatic and it never hit like the 5 speed. I would kill for my monte carlo to be a rear wheel 5 speed.

Didn't this car had a Dynomax super turbo muffler in older videos?

I have a 2000 V6 firebird with a check engine light , code says bad throttle body , everyone on this video seem very knowledgeable , I was wondering if anyone knows what I can do about replacing my throttle body since no one has one anymore .

What kind of longtube headers do you have? I only see some with Mid-Length Pacesetter headers.

Warshrike, if you could only do one major mod to a 2002 Firebird 3800 series 2 engine to gain the most hp/tq "off the line" like a roots blower, what would it be? Cam and related mods or something eles?

@WarShrike

4 жыл бұрын

If you have an auto, a good torque converter (I had a Super Street Fighter TCI 3800 rpm stall) and a cam help a lot. A roots blower will have limits on our engines, but it will definitely offer a ton of low end torque. You of course have a lot of fab work ahead of you for that. A smaller turbo would work as well, but you don't want to load the cylinders up too early, these things like to push coolant haha. Easiest is weight reduction. I think one member ran bottom 13s with solid weight reduction, stock motor, 5 speed manual and 4.10s.

Where did u get long tube headers for a 3.8 v6

That's very impressive without running forced induction. I wish there was an easy drop in V6 replacement for these cars thats not in the 3800 family.

Stainless longtube headers by Force Fed Fabs, they are like 1 of 10 made. The rest is Kooks true duals, 3" all the way through w/ high flow cats. I'd recommend a Hooker blackheart 2.5" and maybe some pacesetter headers. Youll need to have an exhaust shop connect the two as there's not a cut and dry true dual kit.

I know this is unrelated to this video, but somewhere I believe I read that you managed to get a T56 6 speed into this with that 3800 V6. I was curious as to what you had to do to make it work?

Mal wood adapter plate, a spacer for the slave cylinder and notched bellhousing because it relocates the slave 1/2" forward. Uses the t56 bellhousing thankfully.

WarShrike for E 85 it just requires 20% more fuel, I. E. Bigger injectors and the tune. Have you looked into umi's new street springs with konis ? Or full tubular front end? What sway bars are you running?

Yeah, the 36lb/hr injectors don't have enough headroom, will be upgrading to ZL1 injectors. I already have an upgraded AEM fuel pump that is Ethanol compatible. I already have Strano Springs, konis, swaybars and a tubular k-member with boxed front A-arms and adjustable upper control arms.
