You also have to have GTP heads. It will not bolt up to a camaro 3.8.

always think a nice shiny pair of valve covers looks nice and is fairly easy to install (looks like on my 3.8 all you have to move is the ICM on the left side which is three bolts + one wire plug at the back), but doing that isn't really going to add any performance to the car....

Also, the K&N FPI kit would clean up the messy look of intake in there, and is supposed to help gas milage a little and have heard of claims of adding a few extra HP

the valve cover aftermarket for 3.8's with the fbody r like slim to none...i think that there is 1 set that is avalable and i dont even know who sells them....u dont have to get gtp heads to make that work...u just have to move the brake booster and fab up a bunch of crap to do what? easier just to buy a powerdyne kit for 2,500 off of a forum and bolt it on...

Our motors aren't really rich in that area. You can polish, powdercoat, loom, fabricate and clean. That's sadly, about it. It took me 41 hours to polish my plenum and valve covers, but it's worth it. It's easy if you get bored a lot. Next to be polished are the turbo housings!
