Welcome. Did you have any port work done to the heads and intakes? If you have any questions about anything 3.8 related I built my 98 up and it was pushing around 450fwhp on N20.. I had about 5 grand in the motor alone. Also saw you were getting a PCM for less tune. I could not get there PCM to work on my 98. The car ran like crap with it in. They sent out another PCM and I had the same issue. This was of course 6 yrs ago so maybe they have worked out there tuning issues with the 3.8's..
