Hey guys,
Just wondering what I could do to improve the performance of my '02 vx s pack 3.8l without going overboard on the price.
Chasing upgrades that will give me a little more power without having to spend big dollars.
Any ideas?

I'm on my P's, but I can still drive a V8.
Living in WA there at no power restrictions for P platers.

And a custom tune to suit ;)

Also consider Mace manifold spacers, a Transgo stage one or two shift kit.. maybe a 2500rpm Hi-stall torque converter or/and a final drive ratio change depending on how and where you drive.
