We're definitely going to need more specifications from you first- primarily your budget and how much hp you want to make. The 3800's have a huge aftermarket, and it would be silly to list every single 3800 mod if you've only got a $500 budget, you know?
In the meantime, check out:

Thanks Space, its been a real pain with moving and getting everything set up again- the house is definitely taking up a lot more of my time, but I'll still try and get on here as much as I can. Doesn't help work's been going crazy with the overtime also...
The monte is still back in IN- I'm looking at Christmas time to be the soonest I can get it and all my tools out here- I'll definitely post up some pics.
Sorry for the thread hijack

Ah awsome, yea I mean I want to put about 2000$ top into it cuz i want it to at least beat my friends 02 gt mustang which has a few add-ons to it. Its completely stock, and I know im gonna need some big parts to get her goin nice and fast i was looking at that last link a few weeks ago and that super charger (http://www.3800performance.com/Merch...roduct_Count=9)
and i didnt know if that would work for my car considering its for the new versions which have bigger engines

Nah...that blower won't do you any good.
Search for "Top Swap" and "SS M90" if you want to supercharge your car- which is what I'd do if I were you and your budget is $2000.
Or, you could save a bit more and buy a turbo kit from ZZP- which is what I'd really recommend. Bigger gains, easier install, more potential...just overall better.

I would just go straight for the ZZP Z3 Turbo Kit
I have a bolt-on Naturally Aspirated L36, and it's not worth the cost :P

It takes my M90 supercharged car full bolt-ons and nitrous to keep up with my buddy's turbo Grand Prix.
Turbo is the way to go.

A top swap will get you a good bang for your buck, but a turbo truly is the way to go. There's a guy in Canada who put down over 580whp on his turboed 3800. Yeah, he's put a lot of work into, but 580whp would destroy a 02 Mustang GT with bolt-ons lol.
