Alright now I know that this is a DSM site, but my buddy needs help pulling power out of his Malibu. He doesn't want anything ricey, and hes not going prostreet but he wants to have a few more ponies under his hood.
Thanks for your help guys...

*2001
*3.1 V6
*$0-3000
*No HP goal... just wants a lil faster car
Sorry Kiel... :grouphug:
CAI (from a Grand Am, Beretta, Corsica compatible cars) ($150 Max)
Exhaust from any muffler shop ($300 Max)
Plugs/Wires/Injectors?? ($300 Max?)
Nitrous ($600 Max)
If I'm not mistaken, I think someone makes headers (Edelbrock Maybe?)
My friend Mike also says there is a Blower out there somewhere....
Mike had an older Corisca 3.1L V6 and ran 14.7. Impressive since it was 3 different colors.

GM Performance Parts makes a Hot Cam for the 2.8L & 3.1L V6
You could mill the heads/ Cam it/ Chip it/ exhaust and youd be around 210BHP and enough torque to make it a little more fun to drive. Dunno if you'll need a higher stall converter for the auto with that cam. (Mine was a 5sp Berreta)

nitrous is the only way its gonna be fast...or faster
CAI,exhaust,"injectors" (WTF?) will not make it noticably faster...

It was just an idea. That was the set up my friend ran.
