L36 vs. LC2.. aka 3800 II vs. buick 3.8 turbo..

okay well..

im just wondering if you guys can tell me why your series II engines dont have near the potential as my engine. i really wanna know. i saw some article online about a supercharged L36 that runs 13.90s with exhaust and some other stuff...

hell the STOCK regal GS's and GTPs with a factory supercharger can run 13.90s and im pretty sure they weigh more than a f body.

what is the freakin deal? you guys should be able to slap on a blower or a supercharger (compression permitting.. drop a set of pistons in there around 8.0:1 and you shold be good)

so im asking WHY NOT?

We have the potential, the block is extremely strong. Overall you are correct, we need lower compression and stronger internals to handle the boost. So far there has not been much in the way of forced induction for us so we're patiently waiting... Its coming though, I assure you [img]smile.gif[/img]

The Series 2 doesa have plenty of potential but not maney people are exploring it. A SC 3.8 will never built up as much boost as a turbo. When it comes time to motify the V6 not maney people go any father than just bolt ons.
