@crazeken Where the 3.9 is concerned... it's more of a do it yourself, that particular version of the 3.9 was only around for 1 year, so not much is out there for it in the aftermarket area. You can get a K&N filter for it, but not a cold air box. Good luck getting at the plugs unless you have the right tools. Not sure if it's worth the money to mod the chip, reward vs cost. And to get at anything under the vehicle... well get a lift, because the jack points you need their special design.
@ijeggert thanks for the input,i still have faith it'll get upgrades,just much harder,my girl is buyin a 2006monte ss lol i just want 300-325hp 300-350ft lbs of torgue and i'll make it happen it may take time but be worth it
@crazeken As far as I've done, small performance upgrades can include hotter plugs, K&N filter, u-bend delete and taking off the resonator. mufflers are next :) Check out my videos I got a few with those upgrades before and after.
@lakersfool Yeah, sounds great on my 3.9L, I also had to get the larger tips, it looked weird having the small chrome tips from chevy in the large cutouts, so I got similar tips to the ones you got, on mine.
trust me sounds perfect,...I think you guys(LTZ) got the overhead cam!....if so....this is why it sounds so good! like back in the 00-05 I had the 3.8 but the 3.4 sounds so much better simply because of the overhead cams.
hell yea! Hotwheels! ftw
