Re: Putting a supercharger on a gt

With the 97-03" Grand Prix's getting older and cheaper, you can probably find a well kept GTP more economically than putting all the parts, especially the tranny, into your GT.

Just my two cents.

Re: Putting a supercharger on a gt

You may want to read he post at the top of the page about putting a supercharger on the normally aspirated 3.8. I think you will find that the purchase of another vehicle may be cheaper. The supercharger shop has a lot to learn about Pontiacs.

Re: Putting a supercharger on a gt

We discussed the issue of turbo/supercharger not too long ago. One of the L36 owners noted that ZZP has come up with a L36 SS M90 kit which may be an alternative. Still not cheap no matter how you slice it nor is it a simple bolt on. See link below:

wonder who that was lol..
no head work needed with this kit. exhaust work is not required either but i'd highly recommend it to get the most out it. i think if you gave the shop your car, this kit and the fixins, maybe get some headers/cat/ubend and upgrade your tranny, and finally a nice tune, you'd have a beast on your hands.

any1 wanna pay my college loans off so i can get it myself?

Gee! I wonder who that was.....lol.

IMO still better off with a GTP.

BTW - Three things are inevitable facts of life. Death, taxes and paying off college loans.

Re: Putting a supercharger on a gt

Just think about it though, paying on 22k worth of college debt so you can make 35-45k off the bat with a bachelors degree is a nice return versus paying $22k on a car that loses a huge chunk of its value each year.

Just my two cents.
