Default Need some advise!!

if you have a 01 V6 A4 camaro how would you sup it up? because i dont know what to do with mine, im leaning towards getting Big Block Engines or supercharger, but anyway what would you do if you were in my situation, what do you think is the best thing to do?

Go to the Hybrids and Conversions section of LS1Tech and start there. It would be so much cheaper in the long run to swap a LS1 in your V6's place, than it would for you to try and equal the output of a modified LS1 based car using your V6. If you are hell bent on keeping your V6 then I would try a search on google b/c there are sites out there dedicated to that particular engine.

I did a search on google for V6 conversions and the first site they listed was LS1tech. I read through a few of the listed articles and it seems like you can pick up an LS1/tranny/wiring harness/etc for fairly cheap.

Part of the answer will depend on what your goal is, of course. Do you want to drag and get a certain time? Street only and want more power? Emissions requirements?

Don't rule out the old iron SBC conversion either, it's much easier to tune.

search some of the v6 camaro/firebird forums there are turbo kits out there for your car for less than 4 grand that could put you deep in the 13's relatively easily...that or nitrous would be the way i would go with the 3.8.

You could always do what I have done and buy a used LS1 F-body. I keep my 6 cylinder as my dependable driver for bad weather and for winter use(I live in Michigan). You can buy a nice 98 camaro for $7k if you shop around. Don't worry about the mileage on it, if you are going to change everything anyways. By the time you have bought a motor, tranny, wiring harness, pcm, etc....and have it installed and running in the 6, I don't think you can beat $7,000. This would depend on how much you pay for labor or how much you value your time for the headaches involved.
