Help me out if ya don't mind...


Ok, i've got your typical 2001 3.8 Liter V6. I want to get some more HP out of it, without spending to much money if possible. I was thinkin a supercharger for sure, but what else to go with it, and what kind of supercharger. I don't know a whole lot about this stuff yet, so i just wanted some help with it.

What is your budget? We can go from there...

for about triple that money, you could get 10x the rwhp increase with a supercharger and tune...

We just need the budget to give better choices.

Supercharger, exhaust and new gears and pulleys. I know gears and pulleys don't give you more HP but they give you a lot better use of the engine's power.

if your budget is low then go with bolt ons and exhaust, gears, and t-lok. if you have the money for the s/c then go for it! dont forget that you will need a dyno tune once you get the s/c
