Hello everyone, I'm new to the group. I just wanted to know if anyone knows of any relatively inexpensive ways to get a slight performance boost in a Grand Am. I'm currently driving a 2002 Grand Am SE 3.4L V6
4spd/auto 2dr. As far as I know the stock HP for this model is 175. I haven't done anything to it other than change the oil and give it gas. Any suggestions are much appreciated, Thanks.Pump your tires up to the maximun allowable air pressure.
Not many performance issues discussed here, try Google. There are a few GrandAm sites. GrandAmGT.com comes to mind for this kind of info.
Nitrous.
Custom cold air intake. $50 for a K&N cone filter, and then get some aluminum piping somewhere, make a line to the fender well.
Weight reduction.
Thats pretty much it for inexpensive.
Slightly expensive:
New wheels: lighter weight wheels, less rotational mass
Underdrive pulley, one exists for the 3.4L motor, forgot who makes it.
Nitrous
