Oh Geez, forgive me, what was I thinking! :D I must be thinking of someone else, Mike is just so innocent all the time! He would never do such a thing:rolleyes:! hahahaha;)

Angel my A**! LMAO! Leave it to you to make me laugh at the computer screen! :D

Yea Chris, a 3.5

you can always do a custom turbo, but you could get another car for what it would cost. there wont be many if any aftermarket for us 3.9 unless they start putting them in more cars. the 3.5 i could see someone coming out with something because the 3.5 engine is still being made. WE 3.9's are another story

Of course there is, there is always a way to get any engine to do just about anything you want (including putting a SC on a 3500).

My solution to doing a SC on a 3500 would be to put a CSC on it- the hardest part would be fabricating a solid mount for it (probably where the airbox is like on the 3800 kits), rigging up a jackshaft to transmit the power across the engine bay to it, then redo your belt routing to include an extra pulley. The rest from there would be cake- just tuning, new MAP, and routing the intake piping.

IMO, it would be easier and cheaper to turbo it. You'd only need a couple parts made, and they'd be fairly simple. You would just need a plate to blockoff the rear manifold's downpipe connection; then remove your crossover pipe and have that made to mount a turbo in the center- adding your wastegate plumbing to it- and then making a new downpipe from the turbo outlet back to your exhaust.

bumpin96monte, how do you think of this, wow man! do you eat and sleep horsepower?? your crazy man, how do you have this all figured out? the work you've done on your monte is amazing man!! thanks for all your info!!

All you've got to do is look at the stuff available for the 3800 for inspiration. Obviously those parts won't bolt up- but there is no reason why you couldn't build the same setup, especially since its the same car, and pretty much the same phyiscal size engine.

I thought I read somewhere where someone turbocharded a Pontiac G6 3.9. It was only doable with the 6 speed I think. It was in the G6 performance forum site somewhere. So there could still be a chance for more power. Lets not forget a tune. The G6 3.9 is faster than Chevy 3.9 most likely from a better tune cause they weight about the same. I'm waiting for the first 3.5/9 to 5.3 swap myself. Im sure it's only a few years away.

For the 3.5

I would do the Mpd-inc (cold air inductions) Intake it would work if your air box is in similar location to the 3.9 engine.

A pcm tune would be a highley recommended thing

see our pcms don't know we have aftermarket exaust or intakes or anything new, when they get programmed you get the true power from these mods when your pcm is programmed correctly.

I am not kidding, I have a friend with a yukon he was doing 17's in the quarter mile, after a pro gm tech tuner tuned his pcm, he runs low 15' in the quarter mile no joke, I don't know the best difference with a v6 tune but it wont hurt, it will only help.

Best price and way to get to 300hp for a 3.5

is to do nitrous, A 50-75 shot would do nicely and not break the bank, also if you were to do nitrous get the pcm tune after the nos is installed.

I agree with a v8 swap with the ss motor, you can get 303 hp and with a pcm tune that be sweet, nitrous or turbo on this engine just be perfect,

For me I would do a ss motor v8 and swap my tranny out with the v8 ss one as well, and beef it up a little and do at least a 50hp shot of nitrous and pcm tune, I could get to 400hp with this and my other mods,

A ls1 or ls2 just be sweeter and even better, imagine a 350-500 hp engine with a corvette transplant and I would love to beat my buddies jeep srt8, Now that be a true sports car that could keep up with a hemi, stang and vette. yea buddy!
