I just got the car yesterday it's beautiful I am very happy with everything but being a young man I crave the speed. I was wondering if anyone here knows of any performance parts for the 95 supercharged 3800. It's not series II and the 225 horses it puts out seems a little sluggish compared to what I usually run against.

Generally speaking, the first thing people change is the pulley. Try looking around under the Pontiac GTP groups- it is the same engine, but there seems to be a lot more people with Pontiacs interested in tweaking higher performance.

Along with the pulley, you can also:
- Get a colder thermostat
- Adjust the angle of the supercharger or something (I don't remember the specifics offhand)
- Get higher ratio (1.8 or 1.9) rocker arms
- If you want to spend the big bucks, get an intercooler

thanks a lot I will look for the GTP sites but I have a feeling that its going to be mostly series II performance. But thanks for the quick reply and if anyone else knows anything on here that would help me please don't hesistate.

Check with Hypertech for a prom chip for this car. I know at one time they were offering chips for the GS with the same motor. Also I would contact SLP engineering. They have done various upgrades for this engine in the past.
