    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.
    debadged, clear corners, 20% tint, tinted tails, vibrant performance tips, red painted calipers, Fig. grills, autometer guages, PFYC 3 pod A pillar, SLP CAI, 2.5" DP, SD Hood, SD front air damn, Gen I spoiler, 17X8 Borbet Type M rims, engine upgrades soon!

    if i were to buy a used s/c of a totaled gtp what other upgrades would i need to make my engine and tranny capable of handling the additional tourque, and what would that with a 3/4 pulley, k&N air intake and a flowmaster bring my bhp to about?

    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.
