Is there any hope for a 96 F body 3.8??

I can not seem to find any turbo, supercharger, or even N/A kits at all for a 3.8 Camaro. I would at least like modest hp gains from a cam if anything... but cant even locate one for the f body 3800. Help!

Why not?

I would totally turbo, or supercharge a 6 cyl f body. Did you forget about just how bad ass a Grand National was in its day. You can pull 350 to 400 hp at the wheels in a 3800 turbo car with about 500 less lbs of motor. So in that case. I definitely would. And so would you. Man thats pretty bad. I see l67... sounds like a custom swap. And alot of cash.

*cough* buy mine

No but really, there is no bolt on turbo kit. There are a few superchargers you can go with, but besides that you're doin it all on your own. There are a few of us around here that have done it, so we can give you advice or points to start with.
