maybe adding a supercharger in future

i have been thinking ever since i got my GP GT that i would someday like to add a supercharger just like the GTP, however i am wondering what else would have to be added to the engine to keep up with the higher performance...does anyone have any ideas as to what else i would have to add to the engine
btw, i would also like to get a new set of smaller under pullies as well as replace the pully on the supercharger with a small one for more horsepower.
thanks

Maybe an exhaust system?
LOL Don't get me started on this one. I know I got the best exhaust system under a GP that nobody else has. If interested PM me.
As for the supercharger change, I heard that the engine in the GT is different that that in the GTP. I believe the GT has a L36 and the GTP has a L67. I'm not 100% sure if thats right for the GTP engine, but i do know that the GTP engine is made for a supercharger and GT is not. It is possible to add a supercharger like that are on GTP's but it will cost in the $1,500 range for a new supercharger and another $1000 for the parts that will make the supercharger upgrade happen.
BTW, Welcome to AF wddragon :) nice to see you have a Grand Prix.

Personally, I don't think that the supercharger is worth the money to put into a GP GT. Put an exhaust system on it, you will feel a difference and other people will think you have something also. Scott's sounds like a V-8. :D

I would get headers and an exhaust to help that supercharger breathe better. I dont know about changing the pulley on the supercharger I don't think the stock engine could handle it.

dude just buy a CSC supercharger for your GT if you want to supercharge your car. I am getting one this summer and there better then a L67 supercharged engine. First off the CSC is designed for your L36 and 2 is way less of a hassle to install cuz you dont need to change anything else, just bolt it on and your good to go dont need nothing else.

hes gonna pay just about as much to get a L67 and all the rest of the stuff. ANd if hes gettign the L67 installed by someone else thats gonna cost alot more then getting the CSC installed. it would cost about alittle over 3,000 to get L67 motor and all the rest of the stuff you need to do a swap unless he bought the motor from a junkyard even then its gonna be expensive to get one thats got low miles and you have to find one for low miles.
