you might also want to look into changing your differential gears, a 3.73 would be a good ratio for your 6, maybe even a 4.10, it sounds excessive, but 3.8s arent known for their torque, since torque is what gets you moving, you might as well so the next best thing... a gear change.

well, some s10 pickups that had 4 whangers came with 4.10s, rip them out of the pumpkin and go to a shop and have them stick them in. i don't recommend setting up a set of gears in your garrage, not a good idea

I also Have a 1999 firebird with the 3.8. Try Lmperformance.com the have quiet a bit of parts for the 3.8. I have a jet stageII chip(jetchips.com) Borla Cat back exhaust, Pacesetter headers, universal high flow cat, high flow airbox lid(it takes out the stock baffles). I just got a k&n air filter and a ssra kit( Super Sucker Ram Air kit). I am about to purchase a 6lb supercharger from superchargersonline.com made by rk sport. it and added 70-90 hp. all said and done my 3.8 firebird will be runnin anywhere from 310- 340hp. cant wait till the dyno.
