ok so my buddy has a 2001 monte carlo non supercharged and he is looking to get a lil more power out of it.... i looked arouind but i'm having trouble finding any decent web sites that sell monte carlo performance parts. is it possible to jsut get a SC off of an SS supercharged car and swap over to his and if so what will we need?

if you have any other ideas please lemme know.

thanks in advance

does he have an ss with the 3.8 or an ls with the 3.4

 

its the 3.8

 

One word. Turbo. It will be the best bang for buck, but that buck is a high price figure.$2500 but he will be running a 13 second car from a 16 second car.

 

i think that the 2500 number may be a lil intimidating for him [although i could be wrong] so do you think it would be possible to round up the SC from a SS SC car and swap that over andmaybe even do some intake and exhaust for about a grand?

 

intake and exhaust he can do for under a grand, but it's not going to get him much power

tell him to check out this site

You can put a supercharger on it but it costs about a grand to do. You will also probably need to do some other mods like CAI and downpipe which will be another 400 bucks. All in all he will have $1600 wrapped up in it going that route.

Picking up the turbo will give great power and will give good fuel economy.

 

well my turbo wont cost near that but i have some friends who can do it so im lucky but it will still run me quite a bit...

 

I've heard of people going turbo for under a hundred bucks, but they do all the work and have access to good used parts.

The regular joe will prob have to buy new.
