2001 Monte Carlo LS upgrades
I've had this car for about 5 years now and its getting stale. Not that its not impressive to look at or drive, but i want something to make it feel a little different. I am hoping to up the performance a little bit.
Should I do a supercharger or a turbo, I am already planning on a cold air intake, but any links or suggestions for my body / engine would be helpful. I believe I am running a 3.4 in mine (just got done working on my house or id double check).

Our 3400's really aren't worth putting much money into. Just give it a nice Cold Air Intake, Coil Packs from an l67 (supercharged 3800), and change your exhaust to your liking and you're just about as quick as a stock 3800.
If you really have a few thousand to put into your car, you'd be better off just buying a new car so you're starting off with more HP. There isn't much aftermarket for us.

Im with him on that. I been driving my LS MC for close to 6 years and honestly if u dont want to sell it then just wait till ur current motor to blow up then u have a excuse to drop in a 3800 supercharged and play from there, tho i been waiting for this day to happen and i still dont c my motor blowing up in the next ten years lol seriously....
