Default Yay Nay?

So I checked out 3800 Performance.... Will their 3800SC Stage 2 performance package work on a stock L36 or is it just an upgrade kit for L67's? I'm kinda lost on that part. If it will work on the L36 is there any extra parts I would need to get?

I looked at the package and it is for the 3800 supercharged-the L67. If you have an L36, it obviously won't work- because you don't have a supercharger (hence you have nowhere to put the supercharger pulley that is part of the package).

BTW, for those that haven't seen it:

Holy crap- you can choose the option of a 3.25" pulley with the only supporting mods being a PCM, T stat, and CAI- can you say knock city? Plugs aren't even included in the package...

I thought so.... So I'm assuming the packages from ZZ Performance are just upgrade kits too. Is there somewhere I can get a package for putting a supercharger on an L36? Or do I just have to get top-end parts off an L67 and get a package from 3800 Performance or ZZP?

You have two options, basically:

- Top swap
- The "SS M90" kit from ZZP. I have this kit on my Monte Carlo. It's a bit more expensive than a traditional top swap, but alot easier to install. Overall I'm very happy with the kit. Check out the details on www.zzperformance.com and report back with any specific questions regarding the install, experience, whatever. I would DEFINITELY do it again.

I'm still confused about this.... I've been to ZZP and checked it out already. Are you telling me to get a kit from ZZP that is designed for the L67 or is there one for designed for the L36 too? I looked at the "Ported M90 Supercharger" and in the "Option 1" drop down box you can select the "Mod'd for use on SS L36 kit" option. To me that says that ZZP has a kit SPECIFICALLLY designed the L36 motor. I can't find that kit, maybe I'm just slow but if you can give me a direct link the what I'm lookin for or a direct link to what you bought then that would be fricken awesome.

Not sure how you missed it since it's the only kit named "SS M90" on their site, but here you go:

Nevermind, HA! I told you it was probably just me... Found the L36 SS M90 Kit. I came up with right around $1,000 not including shipping or any other small details I didn't select cuz I really don't know what I would need yet. Is there any way to get around spending $450 on ZZP's recommended fuel rails?

I'm sure ZZP won't let you know that way around it if there is one... since it's their custom made kit.

Mechanically speaking if you can do your own labor, you can usually find parts for the top swap, you won't need the SSM90 kit and you can get the stuff for around $700
