I'd reccomend upgrading some of the transmission components (especially the torque converter), as the previous owner of my bird thrashed it and left me with the repair bill one month after I purchased it. I don't trust automatics, but if you don't do a crapload of hard launches or hammering the throttle all the time, it should be okay. If you are going to Supercharge the 3.8, I'd say look around for the Project Virus and Pathogen V6's. They're pumping out some power with a centrifugal blower, and intercooled to boot. If you want to run the engine reliably around the 9+ range to 15, you'll want to mill the engine up to the L67 specs to a certain degree.

I have plans on ordering a GTP 3800 Supercharged crate from GMPP (along with a performance tranny), then switching it from the blower to a custom fabricated turbo setup as the stock blower exceeds its efficiency somewhere around 19 psi, plus the bragging rights of building your own turbo V6 and suprising some unwitting Detroit Muscle, priceless. Why am I more willing to get a new engine and start clean? I have 106k miles on this engine, and I'd rather be able to run some bench tests on the engine before it gets to sit in its rightful place...
