90TGP Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 I've heard that Mantapart has really bad customer service. They aren't that far from me though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveFromColorado Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 I had one order with them, I called them directly, spoke with someone, gave my credit card, and had my engine within' 3 weeks (paid for the SLOWEST shipping) --Dave.

cryptnix Posted June 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 Thanks but that didn't answer my question ... These mods, are they worth investing in? How much of a difference (HP wise) would it make? Just curious! :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian P Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 You're not trendy until you wear all-white sneakers and refer to everything by GM's option code on w-body.com and when no code exists (or you forgot) just abbreviate it. The less non-trendy people know, the cooler you are. Anyway. That code of which has spoken is the engine code for the non-intercooled 3800 V6 supercharged What are the specs on the roller camshaft?

cryptnix Posted June 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 agree'd .... just wanted to know one thing (two things)! :-D Anyway ... it'll get a l67 ... i just thought i'd give the 3100 an old mod or two ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TurboSedan Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 just my opinion, but i wouldn't do any mods to a pushrod 60 degree V6 - forced induction seems to be the way to go. i doubt a cam alone will do much. i'd either add a turbocharger and keep the stock cam, or just swap to an L67 or even an older LG5 or maybe even an LA1 and mod that instead of the L82. i'm so trendy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
