Default HP upgrades

I have a 1995 Grand Prix SE 2dr Coupe with the 3.1L engine. I am having problems finding any performance upgrades aside from the general stuff like exhaust and plugs and wires. I was looking for something more for my engine though. It would also help if you could help me find some exterior upgrades for my car too

Anything will fit into anything, just depends on how much modification you have to, and want to do. The 3800 has been put in Grand Am's, Fiero's, Cavalier's, S-10 pickups, vans...and so on.

makes sense. i dont know much about swapping. I guess if a Cadillac Windstar V8 can fit in a fiero, then nearly anything is possible.
