3rd Generation in need of easy 3.0l mods

I have owned my camry for about 5 years except i only drove it the first year of owner ship. Do to a drunk t-boning me. but it will be out of the shop this monday and i would like to welcome her home with a few mods. Cold air intake was done the day i bought it, and rims. but i still want the few extra ponies. it has been awhile since i checked into stuff but when i did only performance parts you could buy were for Honda's
(green Toyota Yellow Honda)

Some info on the car. It is a 1995 Toyota camry, 3.0 v6, automatic. maroon. it has a cold air intake routed to were the old air box stood(manufactored by me and the local desiel exuhast shop). I am looking for bolt on 5 to 10 hp gain. and i will even post pics of the proccess of the choosen mods. i just don't know what is out there and now people have done it i figured i would check to see aht people think works the best.

also does anyone sell parts like forged pistons cranks, now for this v6, if so maybe i'll consired some majior mods?

for the 1mz? no....basically everything internal has to be machined....if you had the 4banger, there'd be internals that you could use....but that's be moving down as it were...

basically in terms of bolt-ons, if you have the $$$, you can get a good 10-15whp gain from headers, y-pipe, and full free-flow exhaust along with your CAI

but the money that we're talking about is around $2K for parts

take a look at JPperformance.com and look up their full system for the 1mz-fe, gen4 camrys- it should also fit on your gen3

save some $$, make your own exhaust piece by piece and have someone weld it, i did my 3vz-fe for around 400, 200 of it for the muffler alone. Y-pipe was not completed though, i would really like to do something about that this summer if still have it

performace engine kits can be bought at importperformance.net for a bit over 2G's however, based on personal experience, DO NOT GET BEARINGS through them....they screwed up my bearing order 3 times! and cost me over $400 for storing the car due to delays. everytime of which they argued(!) with me that they were in fact the correct bearings. i just about drove up to vermont or whereever they are and massacred them.

it took 4 because it cost so much and with other things that came up it was absolutly impossible to save for it. but now i have. the reason it needed the work was i was broadsided by a drunk driver. now we were down town in the city i live in. at a fourway stop. i was goin' south he was headingeast. i entered the intersection and BAM!! An '89 s-10 was sitting shotgun. granted the speed limits were 25 but he was goin' fast enough to push my pass. side doors into the seats. if knew how to put pics in here i have some.
