Default N/A 3800 info/mods

I got an 04 GP GT. 3800 series III...what ever that means. I'd like to learn more bout these motors. Is there a difference between this one, and the supercharged one? (internals, or compression)

I'm already gonna get a K&N for it, and it came with that "ractive" exhaust. But anything else that you guys have tried that works good? Maybe a chip or something?

Thanks,

Cris

the supercharged motor is different from the heads up and it has a different compression ratio because of the bottom end parts.

as for parts to buy, check these places out:
