    Make your own intake and save $300.

    A catback isn't necessary, spend $200 shipped on speed daddy headers instead.

    ZZP PCM... Use the search button

    3.4 pulley with no supporting mods? Did you even read the safely modding your 3800 thread? The link is in my signature.

    I'd second this. Get some headers, a 3.4, and find a local reputable tuner.

    1998 GTP : XP Cam, 3.2 Pulley, Supporting Mods<Sold>
    2001 Formula M6 : Shhhh
    2001 SSEi : New DD, Bone Stock for now

    Catback exhaust is useless, except for sound.
    Headers will be highly recommended if you intend to increase supercharger output and keep your engine in good condition, factory manifolds are very restrictive.
    You're better off money wise, researching and learning how to tune by yourself and/or with help from people.
