V6 mods

I bought my 3.1 Firebird last year and just now goten around to thinking about performance mods. Any help on cold air intake or ramair would be appreciated as I cannot envision a design. Does anyone know of a company that makes super/turbo chargers for 3.1 engines? Thanks for the help and enjoy the ride.

As far as the super/turbo, it'd be far better to take that 3 grand and drop a 350 in it.. you might even have enough cash to put a t56 six speed tranny in with it too.

I'd like to best v8s without actually having one. A 350 is great but in order to do that, alot more has to be changed out than the motor and trans. If anyone knows of a supercharger or turbocharger for the 3.1, let me know.
