Bigger fuel injectors for 3400?

Truly, my goal is to keep up with these dang grocery getters lol. Maybe a turbo kit is a better option after all? Although as far as I can tell emissions laws here dont allow for tampering with any exhaust part forward of the catalytic converter, and since I cant find a bolt on supercharger, I really thought 3400 owners were kinda stuck trying to make more than 200 hp

Wow, really? That would be kind of a goofy law as it would seem a rear mount turbo would be an easy loophole (not that I'd reccomend all the hassle of doing one). That would be pretty unfortunate though not to be able to do any kind of normal turbo.

Are you in Cali?

There used to be a centrifugal kit sold by RSM, I'm sure they still pop up used from time to time.

Another one I saw in quick search was the MMS M90, although I think it must be fairly new as ive never seen anyone do it:

The hard part on this forum is that we don't really get a lot of people who mod the 60 degree engines. There have been plenty of healthy power setups done on them, we just get almost none of it posted here. With the 3800 being the larger option engine and having such a huge aftermarket - the vast majority of the discussion on this board is centered around it or swapping to it.

It is unfortunate as I'm sure there are a good number of people with base engines that would like to do some mods.

There are some other mesage boards with more specific info - 60degreev6.com and a few grand am boards (as the 60 degree v6 was their big stock engine), youll tend to find a lot more custom stuff on those boards.

I may be wrong about the emissions part, I dont know. I live in New Mexico, and in the only county that has emissions laws, yay me. Not having two an a half Gs for a supercharger, I think I'm gonna stick with my current plan and just keep spinning the compressor faster untill I like the power I'm making. Unless 60degreev6 has any better ideas lol.
