It all depends on how much money you want to sink into your Monte. There are a LOT of things that can be done to this 3800. It's also a bit of a niche drivetrain (such as you see a lot more aftermarket performance vendors catering to the F-bodies and the Mustangs then you do a 3800 powered car). BUT there are some out there for our cars that offer great products to get more HP.
When you mention your Mustang, per GM, my '84 Camaro, with a v8 305 H.O. engine and a stick shift transmission was rated at 190HP!!! Granted, there is 20 years between my Camaro and my Monte, but regardless, that's still pretty significant.

 

You know what i see i see a luxurious sports car i beleive thats what these things are unless im to late and someones done beat me to the punch LOL. anyway how much do you think a used supercharger would be lord knows i dont think i could aford a new one. i would love to have one thow hey is my 01 SS MC a L36 what dose that mean....

 

These engines can take a lot and give a lot. I've actually done all my modifications because they will support my turbo build on this engine. Hopefully that build will come next year.

 

GM did good with the 3800 Series II (and the Series III) v6. It became very popular to mod.
As for a cheap super charger, my guess is you're best bet would be to go to a salvage yard where you pull the parts. I believe you would need the heads, intake, super charger and fuel rail. Not to mention a PCM tune so the car knows what you're doing.
If you seriously wanted to go down the road of pulling the pieces yourself, look at ZZP's top-swap kit and that would give you a shopping list.

 

Ok thene i'll probably leav that alone then well for now anyway. i think im going to go with that little list we were talking about with the powerlog and all and may be a chip and tuner. and i was wanting to know is my car a L36 its the 01 SS MC 3.8L V6. i know you already new that DUH. later dude...

 

Yes your Motor is the L36.

On ZZP under Grand Prix anything that says from 98-03 engine wise should work for your car since the Grand Prix had the same L36 from those years.

 

Ok thanks dude, you know iv'e learnt alot from you and the other guy's i realy appreciate it thanks guy's...

 

That's what the forum is for!

 

BTW - To my knowledge on these cars you don't "chip the car and tune the car". The "chips" I've heard about are crap. It's just simply tuning (which is reprogramming the PCM). People here have done tuning a variety of ways. I sent my PCM to PCMforLess.com. It took 3 times of sending it to them (including the original tune), but they worked with me each step of the way. Having to send it in more then once is to be expected with a mailorder service like this. BUT, it all worked and I felt the service was terrific!

 

Well i dont know about sending it off like that i dont have much money to do stuff like that. i have a wife and 5 children so im going to have to take a different aproach. maybe we can figure out something else.
