Default V6 Superchargers

Do they make superchargers/turbochargers for the 95 3.8 v6 Camaros?????
I found one company but they went out of business and I can't find any of their kits.

I know a lot of you will probably say i'm wasting my time and should just get an LT1/LS1 but I don't care. Lol

You can't tune the 95 pcm.
You can get away with an FMU as long as you keep the boost low.

Search on a v6 specific website like www.fullthrottlev6.com

*edit* the cartuning kit is for fwd cars

I have one basic goal in the end of this: to have a car fast enought to at least keep up with a similar year Z-28 and still be a decent daily driver.

I've already started makin lists of parts to get.....coil packs,wires,exhaust,intake,etc etc.

Engine is also due for a rebuild(over 184,500 miles with out a rebuild)....know of any companies that make aftermarket internals for the 3.8??

Just playing devil's advocate, but... If your goal is only to keep up with a V8, and your engine is already prime for a rebuild... then why not just do a V8 swap? It'll be easier, cheaper, and more reliable. I mean, do you have some kind of attachment to your V6?

Strangely yes I do have an attachement to my little wimpy v6. I gotta...it's my first car. lol I did consider putting an Lt-1 in considering the whole car needs a new harness, it needs a new tranny and the entire car including the engine bay needs repainted. But I want to keep the original motor in it.

It does need work but I don't care. LOL 184,500 miles and it still has all stock internals that i'm aware of, stock suspension, in needs the VATS system rewired back into the harness(it was bypassed by someone), it was wrecked twice I think and "fixed."
