Underestimated?

Were you stock? I'm not familiar with that engine, is it similar in output to a 308?</P>
Definetly not stock, it is a 305 block. Bored out, cam, ported heads.. 3.23 gears, the works..</P>
Jug, GTP's do not suck.</P>
I SERIOUSLY considered purchasing one and just upgrading the pulley and a few other minor bolt ons to spank Vette's and stock LS1's all day.</P>
They look cool IMO.</P>
The 3800 is easily the best 6 cylinder engine made by GM or Ford.</P>
and once again you're putting words in my mouth. i never said they suck. </P>
and id say that the DOHC they put in tauruses is probably a lot better than the ford 3.8</P><edited><editID>Jugador</editID><editDate>37924.8721180556</editDate></edited>

Sorry, I changed the wording around on ya <IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0"></P>
Jug, if you are going to go on 'less potential'...well a supercharged 350 has less potential than a supercharged 400...and that has less potential than a supercharged 500...and so on. Not everyone is looking for a 10 second street car.. <IMG src=smileys/smiley3.gif border="0"></P>
For this guy, his GTP get's it done for him, it's supercharged and moves faster than your bicycle man!! Chill!</P>
ok finally someone that has reasoning. you're right, but i think theres better ways to do it. he doesnt. simple as that. people arent always gonna agree, but we can agree to disagree. truce?</P>
but i gotta say...blown 400's and up probably arent too streetable. id stop at like 350/351 if it was gonna be supercharged</P><edited><editID>Jugador</editID><editDate>37924.8832638889</editDate></edited>

Everything in bold is true.</P>
I'm sure this guy knows there's a better supercharged motor than a blown 3800. BTW I never had any hard feelings
</P>
well everyones jumpin my *** cause i dont like a supercharged junk motor...oh wait, i cant make fun of it anymore.</P>
and as for the bold thing...you dont think you have reasoning? you dont think he thinks his own car is good? and the 350/351 thing is an opinion so i cant argue it, but it is true that i most likely wouldnt use a supercharger on anything bigger than that.</P>
oh ps on the better ways to do it i mean realistically, as in something you could actually buy on a modest salary. meaning you would most likely do what you thought was best for your price range.</P><edited><editID>Jugador</editID><editDate>37924.8893055556</editDate></edited>
