Welcome to the forum!
If you want a great read on what to do with your Supercharged (L67) Engine, take a stroll to the Intake/Exhaust section and the first link (or second link) will be a Sticky on mod plans for a 3800!!! It's a GREAT GREAT read.

Thanks to everyone who said hello and for their suggestions. I appreciate the kind greeting.
Chibi - yes, I have seen that stickied thread, got a lot of good ideas there and totally revamped my game-plan for planning the upgrading of the L67. there was a lot I didn't know, and what could be counterproductive down the road if I chose an uninformed path.
Monte carlo 3831 - I originally was looking at the #3 Intimidator models,
but couldn't find a good buy, and lower miles. They are very sharp looking cars. I just happened to see this Stewart edition on Autotrader and said the heck with #3 collectibility and dove into the #20 (with its more limited production run as a bonus.) I am very happy I did.
RocknSS - thanks for the suggestions. Yeah, I am planning on the exhaust upgrades, but will likely wait to do it all at once and save some lift time. Gonna go with Magnaflows and header upgrades as well. I also have an Olds intrigue and that was a common mod (u-bend delete) for that exhaust as well. I just decided to delay mods to the Olds when I got the SS. Perhaps when I upgrade the SS front brakes, they will go onto the Olds. I got a lot of W-body suspension parts, BMR, UMI, that I was gonna slap on the Olds, but that may be diverted to the SS.
Again, thanks to everyone who said hello!!

Hi again,
I am going to upgrade the rotors, maybe to 13, and the F-body caliper dual piston route. Slotted rotors, maybe anodized. Paint the calipers Home Depot orange to accent the car colors.
rear brakes going to go up to 12" with the ZZP set.

Welcome to the forum! Sure would be nice to have that aerocoupe back, but that is a pretty nice ride your sporting now too. Any "visual mods" planned?
