I am going to put a supercharger on my 99 3.8. I am thinking of runing like a constant 12 or 14 psi. What should I do to make the engine stronger so it can take this psi without failing? Also where can I buy the parts?

Best way to go are to buy the dimanod pistons 8.0:1 compression made by intense-racig they are forged and then get the new rods from the 2004 gtp's they are forged and only cost 31 dolalrs a piece have to machine alittle bit to make them work but nothing big. Have the stock crank hardened and knife edged for wieght removal. Get a set of Total seal piston rings they have no gap and are for boost cause no blowby can occur. Replace all bearings with clevite 77 berings and then use a ARP main stud kit and ARP Connecting rod bolts and ARP Head studs. Drill out a third hole in the intake vally for extra oil.Remove the balancer shaft and block oil hole in back of motor and have all of your internals balenced at a shop. Also get a set of MLS head gaskets they are top quality. Redo all valvetrain with new stuff like compcam 130 lbs springs and low clearence retainers with oil restricted pushrods.
That setup is good for around 28-30 PSI
But you would then need like 72+ lbs injectors and a stand alone fuel system or a low impedence converter box to run the injectors on stock pcm you would need alot of custom programming tio set timing and the injectors. As well as you need a stage 3 tranny with a 4000 stall and gearing around a 3.23<b><a href=\"http://www.sick-sixx.com\" target=\"_blank\">SICK-SIXX MEMBER</a></b><br />NA 14.345 with a 1.863 60 foot<br />Nitrous 13.03@99.5 with a 1.63 60 foot<br /><br />2000 Camaro 3.8L A4: USE TO HAVE Comp Cam 210/220 .535/.547 113lsa 111 I/C, Port and Polished Heads, NX Wet Kit 100 Shot, CPRA made by CP, RK Sport Headers -

yeah it would be great if the price was less than $10,000, I dont have that type of money laying around. Also I dont need 30psi. What is the cheaper way of handling like 10,12,or 14 psi?
Thanks for the info ill do that when I go pro!! [img]graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]A good friend will come bail you out of jail. But a true friend will be sitting next to you saying \"That was <br />F%#@ing awesome!\"Comment

all that doesnt cost to much i would say no more than 2000-3000 for that motor. but those are all the best you can buy so pick parts from that and build your motor the pistons and rods i would do for sure essecially since the rods are only like 31 dollars a piece. the 3rd oil hole you could have a machine shop do for like 30 bucks and then have them clean the block for like 50-70 bucks.<b><a href=\"http://www.sick-sixx.com\" target=\"_blank\">SICK-SIXX MEMBER</a></b><br />NA 14.345 with a 1.863 60 foot<br />Nitrous 13.03@99.5 with a 1.63 60 foot<br /><br />2000 Camaro 3.8L A4: USE TO HAVE Comp Cam 210/220 .535/.547 113lsa 111 I/C, Port and Polished Heads, NX Wet Kit 100 Shot, CPRA made by CP, RK Sport HeadersComment
