GM never should have stopped making the 3800 v6. It was easily one of the best engines they ever built!

[TARider]

I wanna do this kinda stuff on my 06 buick lucerne! Everyone thinks it's just an old man car, makes a perfect sleeper!

Wish I lived closer to a reputable 3800 mechanic/tuner. Turbo would get the nod for my ‘04 MCSS. Thanks ZZP for supporting the 3800 base!

I Got a 2001 Airbox on my 1999 pontiac grand prix with a K&N Air filter, but I plan on doing the 1.0 pcm, catted down pipe, HV3, rockers, before I do turbo & valvetrain. Thanks ZZP for making owning a 3800 feel like I own a race car😂

i wish more of your mods worked for the fbody 3800 because some of us v6 boys like to get sideways!

[jayeebennett]

I just so happen to have a pontiac with the 3800 series III and this will come in handy.

Can y’all do a N/A 3800 build just like how y’all did the Cruze?

[ArlowFarrell]

You guys stopped selling most of the performance mods for the 3800.

[poppa]

I’m watching this videos and adding to the cart

[im_karter]

I have 2 grand prixs and I’m in love with these cars I just wish the transmission hadn’t gone out on my other one

[Toniez]

I am 17 with 3.8 v6 impala and consider myself lucky man

I'm thinking this coming spring when I get my yellow '02 MC SS out of winter storage, I'm going to get the downpipe from you guys! It'll be one of my first real mods per-say as I only have a CAI, a muffler delete, and a couple other small things currently.

I just bought a 2004 GP GT. Its like new. 66k miles. I have always loved Pontiac. This thing is amazing. Hoping to put some of these mods in place soon.

🤗🤗🤗 I like this guy.... I wish it's lil bro the 3300 had room to build on for more horses... lil phukers have lots of torque tho...

[chaoslord]

If you've got an F-body 3800 (Camaro or Firebird), especially an older one with the worse air box, check out the Spectre SPE-8161 air filter.

Buy just the filter, remove the entire stock air box, and mount the filter right onto the intake manifold. But first, drill a hole in the center of the filter for the air temp sensor, and you'll be good to go.

Never heard of it but interesting hv3 need an install and performance review

[loganweisman]

Can you do a top 5 on RWD 3800? No one cares about them and it makes me sad

[brewtonmaint]

When are you guys going to come out with drive by wire ecm files?

[andrewcampbell-young]

Got an 1999 Olds intrigue 3800 series II love it hands down awesome vehicle 😎
