yeah you could try and do a turbo or custom fab a SC. the reason why you dont see any kits is...after spending 1500-2500 on a Turbo or SC kit you will barely be making the power of a stock 3800 SC! and you would still need a better trany.

a full engine swap is quoted at 3-4K for engine and trany! and even some room in there for some mods. taking a 3100 heck even my 3.4L DOHC into 14s is quite a feet! the L67 (3800 SC) does these times factory. and there are many ove them in the low 13's to 12's.... so save the money for a swap.

to fit a 3800 series engine in a 95-99 monte you need the 98-99 z34 engine cradle and harness. the grandprix harness wont work. motorswap.org is a good place to research the swap. it usedto be the l67swap.com but now they are taking more info for other swaps aswell.
