    Hey Folks, looking for some under hood pics of 97-03 GPs that have been swapped to the GEN V. I'm especially interesting in seeing pics of cars running an SLP box with a N*. However, any swap pics will do.

    Thanks in advance.

    Its not a dumb question, everybody starts somewhere and thats what this forum is for. 1997-2003 Grand Prixs came with a "Gen III" supercharger and the 04 and newer Grand Prixs came with the better, more efficient "Gen V" supercharger.

    Thanks for the pics...keep them coming folks.

    Not to hijack the thread, but Farns, i see some stuff hanging off your firewall. Can you divulge what all that is.

    And I hate it when you post pics of your engine bay. Makes me jealous. I want my engine bay to look like that.

    Wow, I'm surprised I thought there would have been more GEN V swaps then there is on here. I'm going to go with a GEN V soon and was really wanting to see what you all did with the PCV system and was wondering if I used a N* could I still use my SLP air box. It looks like its going to be tight!! Thanks for the pics guys, these help me out quite a bit.

    Thanks again!!

    I have the Gen V swap, pics at my cardomain.

    Not many people went Gen V because a fully ported gen III can be had for a fraction of the cost, and get almost the same gains.

    A fully ported GenIII might catch up but will never match what a GenV can do. Totally different case makes most the diferance.

    For what many spend in porting and polish work on a genIII, one could buy a GenV, modify the LIM a little, bolt on and go with a far better advantage.

    But were not going to turn this into a debate...this topic on which is better has been ran into the ground more times than I can remember.

    Its a worth while Mod to do, and to invest in both hands down.
