ive got a 04 monte carlo ss supercharged (dale jr series) and am wondering what is best way to gain horsepower for best money wise. its a 3800 series 3.8L 6 cyl supercharged so im not sure which guide i should use. any suggestions please let me know

 

L67 is your engine.

 

Wow, bumpin96monte you are the freakin man for posting all this. The links are helping out AMAZINGLY. I'm gonna order SO much stuff of all these sites. Thanks a ton.

 

Thanks for this bumping, been a very useful reference as I've been learning more and starting to mod my monte.

 

please excuse my ignorance, what are L36 and L67?? all I know is that I have a v6 3800 ss

 

L36 = Naturally Aspirated Series II 3800 v6

L26 = Naturally Aspirated Series III 3800 v6

L67 = Supercharged Series II 3800 v6

L32 = Supercharged Series III 3800 v6

 

L36 is the RPO code for the N/A 3.8L Series II while L67 is the RPO code for the Supercharged 3.8L Series II. An RPO code is a code GM uses to designate a feature or part on a vehicle.

 

How can I find out which one is mine?

 

It sounds like your Monte is a 2004 non supercharged SS. If you open the hood, the engine cover will say something like "3800 V6 Series II". Then if you look at the list that I gave you, you will find "Naturally Aspirated Series II 3800 v6" and that is listed as an L36.

 

how can i tell if it is a L67 and so forth all i know is mine is a 3800 series 2
