Firstly, try search, this has been covered a million times.

Have you got extrctors and exhaust or just exhaust? Give MACE a PM, they are a sponsor here on the forums, ask him this question. Undoubtedly the first item will be high ratio roller rockers, next would be CAI, after that you choose.

yeah doesn't mean to be, but it is a forum with millions of postings, surely there would be a post for adding power a 3.8. and the fact that you've been a member since 2008.

Combination of Pace maker extractors and 2.5 inch Manta Exhaust with hi flow cat gives u nice sound and gd power u can get second hand very cheap and also if u upgrade to high ratio roller rocker with bigger throttle body can increase lot of power.

Want extra power in your car? Put another battery in it.

Honestly, there isn't much you can do to get more out of an ecotec without spending a LOT of money. 20rwkw is about the most you can expect without a 10K budget.....

NAAF's right, may aswell make it sound like it has power cause thats all your going to get.

Don't listen to these guys dude.

First and foremost you need two cop spec ceptors on the rear. Roughly this adds about 35-40 killa-wasps.

Outside neons go by this formula, 2x5=10 so for every 2 lights multiply by 5 giving you 10 KW.
In a recent survey they concluded that due to the efficient reflection of the light, having 10 or more neons will actually bring da honeyz.

If you need more info use the search feature located top right on your screen. Thank you.

for that sort of money just a new exhaust bro.
then for bout 3000$ stroke the engine to a 4.2
another 3000$ upgrade the rocker and get it tuned and chipped
then maybe turbo or supercharge.
