Default make me fast!

so, i have a 2001 strat r/t with the 3.0v6 i've got a "cold"(for whatever its worth) air intake... straight pipe, as in no resonators or mufflers, that kinda thing and i love the car i love the way it handles i love the way it drives.. seriously i love everything about it.. but i know the car is pretty fast but i want it to be faster.. but i do not want to turbo it or supercharge it, ive got to many miles on it.. so what do you guys think is my best option is for speed at a resonable price? any ideas are appreciated

We can only handle a 50 shot on stock internals... I would suggest doing some research on www.club3g.comin the performance section, especially if you want to stay N/A.

if its got too many miles to add forced induction, i dont know why you would be trying to build it NA...and nitrous isnt going to be any friendlier on the engine than turbo or sc...

if youre going to make the car fast, youre going to spend some money...so if youre going to do it, do it right...dont nickel and dime the build only to have an aging engine fail

Buy a 6g74 3.5l and build that motor up, once it's done do the swap

the only "Fast" RT coupes ive seen have relied on forced induction. youre going to spend a great deal more money for less gains with an NA setup.

if youre that mechanically inclined, a motor swap isnt a bad idea, but its a ton of work...

The only swap your going to be able to do (that I've heard of)is the 6g74, I don't think I've seen many Stratus's if any at all with the swap, but I have seen a few Eclipses, and Sebrings

the motor currently in my car is currently the 6g72 correct? well the 6g74 is a 3.5 dohc? i CAN do the swap if its possible... so does anyone in here know the requirements for doing this swap? or if its even possible? i can only imagine that the computer will need some work? right?
