    hey guys I have a 1997 grand prix gtp 2 door with the supercharged 3.8L V6. current modifications are a spectre cold air intake,one size smaller supercharger pulley,deleted cat and flowmaster mufflers,I want to build the car up more but i dont know where to go next with it or how much more the engine/trans can withstand before needing stronger internals and etc.; where should I start??

    Get a way to scan it aka aeroforce scan guage and headers. And by next size smaller pulley you mean 3.6 right
    dhp tune, sd lip, shiny stuffs, retros, gen 2 spoiler, gpo's, pregens

    Take you a read through here--> http://www.grandprixforums.net/safel...0-a-67580.html

    As stated, I'd scan it before anything seeing as how you dropped a pulley size w/o knowing what your KR is. These cars knock in stock trim, so dropping a pulley w/o the supporting mods can be a recipie for a new motor. These motors can make some good power on stock internals IF they are tuned for it. Just depends on how deep your pockets are and what your goals are.
