what to do with 3 grand I have a BONE STOCK 2001 Pontiac Trans Am WS6 M6. What would you guys do to it with 3 grand? I am lookign at going n/a down the road here, but what should I do first. Let me hear some suggestions guys, thanks alot
In order ... P/H rod > LCA's > LT headers > ORY > Borla Catback > clutch upgrad > port TB > lid and filter. If you're doing the work yourself (and IMHO you should) this should take care of the 3 grand.

jrp is right, $3k wont' get you as far as you may think. This game is expensive.
If you plan to take it to the drag strip much your best start is a GOOD clutch and rear end, but those two things alone will easily use your entire $3k budget. Depending on which clutch you get, etc, you could spend about $4k on clutch/rear end.
This is all I will recomend, unless you get more specific with your end goals. For a fun/powerfull street car I'd get all the power bolt-ons, subframe connectors, new clutch, and then either suspension mods to make it handle better or a cam. It all depends on what, exactly, you want to do with the car.

Where can you get a dyno tune for $200?
No offense, but you are not going to get away with all that stuff for $3k. There are a lot of little things that will add to that, along with the questionable prices quoted.
