It really depends on how much rwhp the thing is putting down. If he's in the 290-300rwhp neighborhood, say hello to mid 13's.

BTW: I remember when he was 13secondv6 as well. That was a while back though.

mid to high 13s sounds very very nice to me...too bad a supercharger for a 99 3.8 is nearly $4000. I dont understand that bc superchargers for Ls1 are around $2500, the ones Ive seen anyways

My blower cost me around $3500 for my Blown V6.

But the one for my LS1 is over $5000!!! Nope.

Yeah,no kidding.EVERYTHING seems to triple in price when you say you have a LS1 I am still thinking of a NX kit though.I had it on my old 3.4 and I am thinking of shooting for 11's on this car.

T-Byrne - $3849.99
RKSport - $3850.00

Hmm...Is it possible to buy one used and still have the full power?

Cool

Yes,just double-check the bearings and make sure the fan blades spin freely!Used is a very good way to go,especially if you can get everything needed and have some input from the previous owner as how to install it.Good luck.
Kevin

PS
Just for show?
