Help with HP and TR Up-grade!

Hello I am looking for some help on upgrading my Camaro. I have 96 base model 3.8L V6. I have changed some things such as flowmaster exhaust w/out the cat, took off the stock filter replaced with perfomance filter. Plan on putting a cold air intake kit shortly.

I currently have a crashed 96 Grand Prix GTP with supercharger, I was wondering if the charger will fit my engine. I see the engine sits different in the Grand, and it looks liek the charger is aprt of the head, not sure if that is so.

I don't want to spend a whole lot of money. i live on a small island in the caribbean so its not easy or cheap to bring in parts or a V8 engine so I am looking for simple easy way to increase.

Any ideas or suggestion are greatly welcomed.

Thanks,
CaymanStyle

Re: Help with HP and TR Up-grade!

Honestly I would save your money on the 'cold-air' intake..they provide improved looks more than anything. If you upgraded your filter, thats about as far as I would go- unless you get true filter system that draws air from either the fender well or underneath its not going to do much. They are very will advertised and hyped.

As far as the supercharger- its not a simple bolt-on. The motors are different internally IIRC, I am pretty sure there are guys that have done it. Honestly though- you would probably save yourself a lot of headache if you bought a supercharger kit made for the car. I realize your resources are somewhat limited since you aren't state-side though. I would hop on some v6 forums and see what guys are saying-
