Sorry but it won't work. Many have tried it but no one has been sucessful(sp).
The intake on the supercharger is at the back of the unit and it fits all the way up to the back of the cowl so there's no room left at all.

You can't use the L67 Supercharger on F-Bodies. The intake for the supercharger would be against the firewall.

However there are regular centrifugal supercharger kits out there. Expect around $4k for em.


-edit: PC beat me to it.

yea you run into problems when trying to take parts from a grand prix even though it has the same basic engine the fact that its front wheel drive changes some things, the arrangement of the engine in a fwd is different with stuff like the intake manifold

it can be done, but the dash has to be rebuilt, and cut a hole in the firewall, too much work for too little gain

You guys ever heard of RSMracing.com they sell supercharger kits. It is one of the only places that I know of that actually market a 3.4L kit. I wonder if they are trustworthy.
