| Buy a GTP, Turbo It, or Top Swap! If you don't want to spend that much then FWI, DP, 1 step colder plugs, er ratio rockers, ZZP HVTB, HV3 insert, water underdrive pulley, reprogram PCM should make the car a little more responsive and improve your bhp.

| You'd need either ZZP's SS M90 kit or the heads, LIM, TB, crank pulley, idler pulleys, coil pack bracket, etc from a supercharged car. If you put a supercharger on a non-supercharged car with 3.4 and only mufflers and a K&N intake you will blow it up. You need a lot more supporting mods than that to run the stock pulley safely on a L36 short block, and even more to run a 3.4.
