well, i'm in tobyhanna, or about 40 minutes south of scranton.
i didn't say exactly where i am because i don't mind travelling a little if its for a good tuner.
how do i get in touch with Daflyingskwirl?(sorry...i'm new to this forum...)
thanks

i hope you arent planning on trying to run that 3800 off a j-body computer.
lmao, no...i don't know everything there is to know about these cars, but i know that. still not sure if i wanna do this or not...just looking into my options....my sister has a 96 grand am gt with a 3.1 v6...she blew the engine...maybe i'll try to use that? or do an eco-tec swap?...lol, i have no idea what i want to do.
Matt used to offering tuning, not sure if he does anymore or not. His name on here is rodimus prime i think it is.

he used too. but when he asked if they have a wideband 95% of them said no. and you need a wideband to tune

well 1st I would make up your mind. a supercharged 3800 from a grand prix would be a sweet power plant. You could drop in a factory computer and run great. Then get something like DHP to tune with later if you wanted.
If you stick with something that can run off a J-platform, there are plenty of people that can tune it for you. If you are going with something you need a donor computer for, make sure that donor computer is supported by the software you want to use.
hmmm...well, from anyone here that has a 3800, what was the cost to have it put in? what kind of power numbers are you guys getting with the charged 3800?
raven has a cardomain page with a list of everything needed for his swap along with prices for some of the parts.
I would do some searching around here. There are install guides that you can use to estimate cost, and quite a few members with the 3800 (although only a handful charged) that put down a good amount of power.
Its not a cheap or fast process, but is probably the most cost effective way to get power. It would have the highest HP to $$ ratio I would think.
If you dont have a huge budget, might want to start thinking boosted eco or something.

well then i guess they didn't get tuned lol i say if your 100% serious about you car you will have the proper gauges and such but alot of people don't even have a wideband >:o
