I have a 2003 monte carlo ss and need to get it fast!. best ways to get my 3.8 n/a up too 300whp? engine swap? tune? what is the best and cheapest way to get there

In order to get to that amount of power you're gonna have to get boost, turbo charge it or top swap it and super charge it.

Cold air intake, performance cams, high performance distributor, high performance plug wires and coil packs. Performance rockers and valve springs would be a cheap way to gain some performance. Also make sure your engine mounts are tight. If they are loose consider flipping the rubber mounts inside the two front engine mounts. You can google that to see more about it.

Definitely a turbo.
ZZPerformance - ZZP Z3 Turbo Kit #ZZ-Z3TK If you want WHP, then you should probably look into the intercooler option. |

Does a 2003 Mont Carlo 3.8 have a distributor? Where is it?:rotfl: |
Go turbo + intercooled
Then get ready for your transmission to need a rebuild |
