Default 3800 S/c swap

I know I saw it on here, I've searched every way I can think of and can't find it. does anyone have a link to the guy who put a factory supercharger on his 3800 Fbody?

I don't have the link but What do you want to know?

Get a top swap from a Grand Prix, Regal, Monte or Century.

Rather than putting the M90 on, I would suggest going turbo with a turbo cam. You can keep all the stock F-Body 3800 parts and don't have to deal with the rear facing TB.

If you got deeper pockets, and want the S/C, go GenV m90 and heads off of series 3 engines. The GenV is much more efficient and the SIII heads have larger valves.

Edit: Forgot to add that you need to add 2 wires to the ECU and extend the MAP harness

^^^ used an aftermarket SC

There were factory 3.8 roots Supercharged holden's (RWD), so the configuration exist. This thread has some picture of it, and more details.
