Any Mods for a 2006 3.9L Monte?

I'm sure none of the HP gains advertised by any of the CAI producers are correct. But, you will see a HP gain. 12 HP, I doubt it!
I could tell a slight difference in acceleration in the higer RPM's after putting the CAI on my 3.5L, nothing drastic, but it was there. The sound is awesome! I would recommend it.

I don't see tons of mods in the future for the 3.5/3.9L's. MAYBE there might be a few things for the 3.5L's (because its used in a lot more cars) in the future, that may also work for the 3.9L (since they are basically the same engine). That said, I don't really see it happening though.
Probably the largest user of the 3.5L is the Chevy Impala, and most people that buy a 3.5L Impala, buy it because they want a large car, that gets good gas mileage, is comfortable for cruising, or business use.
So I don't think the MAJORITY of people with a 3.5L powered car are looking to mod there car, so aftermarket supporters are not intrested in bothering with it. And the 3.9L just is not used enough for them to bother with it either.

Plus a lot of people are still under the warranty. Not the best time to look for Modifications or for companies to make modifications :P
But I agree, the market just seems too small for Mods to come out right now.

thats kind of hard to say look at the comaro the new one as well as the older ones there are after market things for it. look at all makes of trucks there are after market parts for them look at the cobalt aftermarket for them. also look at the ford mustang nothing but aftermarket parts for them as well new and older models as well. its just frustrating to see that our monty's are the red headed step child of the car mod world if you have the 3.5/3.9 engine. mod company's look at them as granny or grand dad car's. tell me if that is not messed up
