Seems stupid, but I'd like to at least know if there are mods for my upcoming car: 99 Intrigue with the 315HP 3.5L shortstar(based on Northstar V-8). gotta smoke those new 265HP Camry's and accords, ya know? :cheers:

 

I've got an aFe filter on the way, LOL! :sigh:

 

I know I know, truck site, but there aren't GM car sites this good!

STICKERS remember they add 5hp a piece and the NOS sticker adds 20hp. Oh and a Tornado in the air intake for an extra 30hp and the folgers can exhaust for 100hp. i'll betfor under 100 bucks you'll be in the 600hp range :confused:

Dont forget to put a wing on the hood, for downforce on the front drive wheels. You also need a wing for the trunk for rear downforce...because its a FWD car. With 600 hp, your going to need down force.

Stock it'll keep up with an RX8 past legal speed limits (the only time I ever raced mine, and the fuel shutoff on the intrigue is not nice at all, I thought my tranny fell out the bottom of the car). About the only upgrades you can make are the normal k&n, but you'll gain the most off rubber (intrigues are really touchy off the line) intially. Of course if you have access to a race shop (I mean a real one... not one of those bolt-on pushers) they should be able to adjust your suspension and adjust your fuel maps/shift points (though I thought the shift points were pretty spot on).

 

I do miss my Intrigue, in terms of mid-size cars I thought it was the best looking... and they also were the highest American content cars left towards the end of their run (>95%).

 

If I were to shop around for a car again though I think I'd go with a 4.0L Aurora.
