Aftermarket parts?

Hey, I am looking for some aftermarket parts for my 2.8 V6 in my 1989 Camaro 5-Speed. I am looking for something simple, not stroker, cam or supercharger kits. Just something simpe like headers, dist., coil, throttle body spacer, something simple, please. Plus the company would need to ship to Canada.
Any help will be greatly awesome!
Thanks.

Headers are made by pacesetter, and are the only headers I know of for any of the 60 degree rwd motors...

throttle body spacer will only work for the carb'd versions of these motors...

don't know about the distributor, but I have an accel coil and wires on my 3.1L

you should reconsider a cam though, you could port the heads while you install the lifters....

Read the top for the 3x00 swap...this is not an easy mod tho but the gains will be very good.

I would first make sure your car is all up to par. Then start doing mods. You will notice the best gains from a car that is in perfect running order. Like said do headers(pacesetter), high-flow cat(mangaflow), and cat-back exhaust(i like the dynomax super turbo the best...had flowmaster and it was to raspy and it has been bench tested on here and shown it flows the worst out of any muffler in its class) Since you have a firebird like me you can make a custom air intake...there is a how to in the tech article spot. I would then get a cam & lifters etc(crane, edelbrock...etc) and while your there get the heads ported out. Iron heads are like boat anchors and dont flow very well at all. Check out the tech article about swaping ECM's. This way you can burn and tune your chips to get the most amount of power out of your car. Hypertech and JET do make chips for our cars but ive been told it is a waste of money. You can get alot more power out of tuneing yourself. Good luck man...and happy modding
