Ebay for sure, but stay away from gimmik stuff.

Other than that, home made CAI and mufflers.

Cold Air Intake, such as a K&N or similar. Good fenderwell units have been made for WELL under $100, and if youre resourseful, $10-20

Sorry. Your current air box would be an example of a Cold Air Intake. It is an enclosed box that separates the air from the hot air in the engine bay. The CAI just has more room for air and typically has a cone style filter.



A HAI - Hot Air Intake - are those cheap ones you can get on ebay that are basically a small tube that connects to a cone filter. They are typically chromed out to look cool. See Fast and the Furious for examples.

Finally the Fender Well Intake - FWI - is basically a tube that slides into your fenderwell and has a cone on it. I don't have experiance with these as far as usage but they are probably the best way to go for performance. They will get the most amount of cold air possible for a Naturally Asperated engine.

http://www.milzymotorsports.com/

has 3100 parts.

lots of people swap 3400 (3500 also?) intake manifolds and such for more power.

I know there is another big 60*V6 site, but I can't remember what it is now...

Kewl!!! I forgot that he did that. Looking at the price though I think different used car would be better than trying to mod the 3100.

exactly why I swapped to an L67. It seems like the only guys running really decent times are the ones running home made turbo kits.

Didn't we have a discussion about this in another topic....

The L67 swap would easily be the best idea.
