I have a 2002 Monte Carlo LS with a 3.4 in it. I was wondering if its possible to get the 3.8 parts such as a throttle body and a throttle body heat shield and if they would fit in it.
Thanks

I got an Ls too, and there really isn't that much we can do to our 3.4 to make them better. I wouldn't mess with the throttle body cause the 3.8s plenum(upper manifold) is different to the 3.4. sorry.

custom CAI and Exhaust system.

best things you can do for you 3.4, the market is VERY lean for those.

well it would deffenetly be better to tune after 4 sure (but not sure if needed )
you shold also port out the intake manifold to take advantage of the bigger throttle body

I just heard about Wot-tech and went there, cool stuff for the 3.4, but if youmod thethrottle body don't you have to mod air filter box and the tubing, and if you do that where do you put the computer, cause the computer is in the air filer box?

no if you change the throttle body there is no need to mod the air filter box in any way
