Re: 3.8 supercharger
damn I was hoping it would. I was going to put some header on it then try to find a 3.8 supercharger to see if it would have fit that would be bad *** a v-6 with headers and a supercharger

It fits, but you have to cut into the S/C and there's a good bit of modification / custom fabrication involved. Im not sure to the degree of expenses but I know most people who have done it say it's not worth it.

Re: 3.8 supercharger
that's not entirely accurate. In the early 90's, pontiac did a test TA with a 3800 supercharged in it, and while yes there was some fancy fabrication, they managed to make it fit without having to cut the cowl or significantly modify the firewall. GM DID IT!!! so it is absolutely possible to make one fit without cutting anything bodywise. Sure, you need a trick intake elbow, but if you know what your are doing, that's it. GM also had it tuned to roughly 300 hp in 93 or 94 when they did the concept cars.
Also, unless you have the complete motor, you will need to swap everything from the heads up, as the injector bosses on the supercharged motors are in the heads, not the intake as per a naturally aspirated motors.

never the less, I think it was stupid for GM not to put the super charger on the 3.8's since they were already making them for other cars it would have been really easy, I guess they wanted to make everyone to shell out an extra $6k for the Z28.

Now...what would have been interesting is to have offered a "performance S/C'd V6" about 3k less than the V8's and 3k more than the V6's....

GM didn't want to have a v6 Camaro compete with the Z28
