but think about it cuz i was for a long time and then reality kicks in and i see the "$" figure

Swap for the 3800SC. Shop around, buy the engine and ECU's for about $1500, and swap it yourself. You can't beat nearly horsepower in the high 200's for that cheap, especially a car like that. OR, you can do what this guy said and bolt a super onto a 3.4L, which would cost more, and give less power.... but hey it's really personal preference, right?
