mbarnes Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 my pops just gave me his 2000 buick regal gse. it has a supercharged 3.8 v6. just wondering if anyone has any advice on a few boltons to get her a little quicker? im pretty sure ill go w/ a smaller pulley, cai, and some type of better flowing exhaust nothing loud though. ive read that a higher ratio rocker arm set up would do well on this motor???? would appreciate any advice or links to quality info. thanks Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireman31 Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 (edited) ZZ Performance and SLP had a ton of stuff for those cars. I had on '04 GTP with SLP's CAI, 3.4" pulley, and Loudmouth cat-back, definitely woke her up. www.slponline.com www.zzperformance.com Edited May 23, 2011 by Fireman31 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved driving that car, it is a f'n freeway flier; I drove from Sturgis back to Dallas 1200-miles in 13-hours in that car and got 23+ mpg doing it! The GSE's have collectible value if I remember right, that's an appreciating asset so don't mess that up. I know the factory exhaust sucks really bad because it causes KR and engine bay heat issues, replace with the SLP exhaust (routes the exhaust under the trans, instead of above the trans) and if memory serves the SLP exhaust design became factory on all 2004+ supercharged W-bodies. There is also a ton of information on using the larger Northstar throttle body, and aftermarket pulleys, etc. OH don't forget to replace/upgrade the dogbones! Mr. P.

kissfans03ss Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 By dogbones I think Mr.P. is referring to the engine and tyranny mounts,they are called "dogbones" because that is what they look like.
