06 Supercharger
 

Ok, I know it's probably on here somewhere but i'm just not looking hard enough or I'm completely missing it...I'm trying to find a s/c for the 3500, does anyone know of any sites? I've been looking for the past or so now and have come across nothing. Too bad I couldn't use a 3800 one or else I'd go get it from a friend now. Thanks for your help

nothing out yet???

Like I said Chris, unless I'm overlooking I haven't come across anything if you do though please share.:D

cool man, just keep your monte as is and look for a 3.8 monte, i've been looking but just can't find the best deal yet!

Wanting to supercharge the 3.5 is like wanting to supercharge the 3.1

They are made to be gas-sippers, and the aftermarket isn't good for them.

i know i'm biased but i don't see why it can't be supercharged... in the future that is. yes they are gas sippers but they put good power to the ground also, a little more than a stock NA 3.8 if i'm correct. imo if there was a better aftermarket out there for them i think it would be supported pretty well. i think it's only a matter of time before it gets better, not as good as the 3.8, but better than it is now.

They they had a tiny bit more HP stock than the L36, but the L36 had more torque.

And we all know torque is what will win the race :P

but it just has a "tiny bit" more torque;) it would be close race i think.

back to the thread though, 1fastmontecarloLT, i also would love to see a supercharger for our engine. i have not come across one either because there simply isn't one available. hopefully that will change in the future:)

I KNOW it would be a close race stock for stock. The 3.8L makes 11 ft lb of torque more than the 3.5L, the 3.5L makes 11 hp more than the 3.8L...call it a wash. The 3.5L revs higher, and holds the first gear shift longer than the 3.8L...so I honestly think that the 3.5L would take the 3.8L by a TINY bit. I would LOVE to see a STOCK FOR STOCK, MONTE FOR MONTE, 3.8L vs. 3.5L race...:D:D:D

I also wish the aftermarket for the 3.5L was better, and it might get a LITTLE better, but never to the extent of the 3.8L I don't think. Honestly, I doubt we will ever see a supercharger for the 3.5L either. In Chevy's mind, and most aftermarket supporters mind, if you wanted all that power, you would have bought the V8!

Mike is right, the 3.5L was made for fuel economy. BUT, that does not mean it does not lay down the power just like the 3.8L. In reality, the 3.5L, and 3.8L are very similar as far as power and fuel economy are concerned. (I think Mike just likes to ruffle the feathers of us 3.5L people! LOL! :rolleyes::D)

I like both engines, I think they are both great, engines with good longevity. The 3.8L has a proven track record for being reliable, and long running (minus the intake gasket crap) and the 3.5L is still pretty new, but with 82K on my odometer, I have NO doubt that the 3.5L will go all the distance the 3.8L will. Mine still runs like the day I bought it! ;)

If anyone finds new aftermarket for the 3.5L, please let us all know! :);)

so, how much different is the 3.5 and the 3.9??? i haven't seen a side by side pic of them!! let me know anything. thanks
