SMOKE/VAPOR

if you blew your hg....you would know it...would overheat, skip, buck,....check your oil...if there's antifreeze in it(look for milky brown) bad hg...check your water...any oil?? otherwise, sounds like it gets alittle chilly at night and its just moisture forming inside the exhaust....nothing to worry bout inless you blew your hg....does your car overheat?? where does your temp guage at during normal driving??....

HG'S

YES! its worth fixing on our cars(sc's) it a known prob with the 3.8 to blow the hg's...as for as to get it fixed, if you do it yourself, then you lookin at the price to get the hg set and the new head bolts....(can't reuse old ones)....but if your gonna have it done by a shop, then your lookin at anywhere from 700.00 to 1400.00... but its well worth it, and since you have the heads off, send them out to get mildly ported, shaved......its a good idea to shave the heads b/c the heads are alum. and they warp if they get to hot.. the key is , tryin to keep the sc engine as cool as possible... hope this helps...

s+s engine

S+S engine is a damn good deal, 1700$ remanufactured (not rebuilt) all moving parts, gaskets, seals brand new. Its better to start fresh if you want to mod it. It takes 4 days for them to build 5 days to ship. I have one And im very pleased! And if you do check out my post on the thread "performance boost low cost" i posted about gasket matching, its hp for virtually nothing! Either way good luck and to quote twindragons..yes its worth fixing.
