Nothing for the 3.4L in superchargers. Right now the only option for 3.4L is custom turbo setups.

Read about my current turbo project

Its a lot easier on a FWD grand prix. No clearance issues.

BATMAN said something about producing one after they finish with the 3.8L kit. That won't be for at least a year and probably more.

If you have enough time and money I'm sure you could make your own custom setup.

It really depends. Personal preference I'd rather have a turbo because you don't have parasitic load but that's just me.

There is a guy here name Nick aka Twofast4U and he has a 12lbs Vortech with an air to water intercooler. He got his from Climax Racing in S. Cali. but I think they were bought by Area51 in Irvine Cali. I talked to climax racing a couple of years ago and they said yeah they can custom install any type of supercharger on any cars. I wonder though if they still do this. One thing though you do have to take your car to them. Which is what Nick did which he's from Ohio.

turbo's don't take any power from the crank, therefore providing more power. They are good also because they use the wated energy going out the exhaust pipe to turn it, therby increasing the power efficiency orr the engine, in my opinion.

It's true that turbos don't take power from the crank, but it's also by most accounts harder to install a turbo, and there's limited clearance for a turbo.
