My day wasn't so great, so I went out and test drove a new car just for fun
(there's no way in hell I could afford one :( ) A 1998 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP,
3.8 Supercharged, 4 speed auto witha little button on the side that turns what
I guess is a performance shifting chip. DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!:) That V6 felt like
a 5.7 V8! I know it's GM but I was extremely impressed. I looked at the
numbers and the supercharger only added 40 hp and 40 or so lbs of torque. I'm
seriously thinking of a supersharger on my 3.9 V6. If the one used by GM
only makes a 20% gain on their V6, surely an aftermarket could do better. And
I'd be able to keep my mileage for the most part I would think. So does
anyone make a supercharger for the Magnum 3.9? I haven't found anybody who
does yet, but I was also wonder how does a supercharger mount the engine.
Before or after the intake valves? I mean, if you can put a V8 throttle body
on the V6 with a little bit of messing around, could you put a supercharger
for a V8 on the 6 with the same messing around? Just wondering, but I'd love
250 hp and 300 lbs/torque out of my 3.9. Thanks,

Mike S.
1993 V6 (if I had a supercharger, I might beat an RT >8-> !!!)
