You can, no kits currently for it. No, you can't easily bolt on a Grand Prix supercharger. If you want to supercharge it, find a used kit, or you can buy a head unit and custom fab the piping and mounting brackets.

Wouldn't hurt to call them. I'm not sure whether they do that kind of stuff or not. I forgot to mention, if do put a supercharger on there, you're going to want to get it tuned to run good/healthy.

I was thinking about that myself, but I dunno... I've heard it'll run at least a few grand to get it done right, and at that point you have just gotta wonder whether it's worth it. Personally I'd just save the money and swap in a v8 once this engine goes.

for the price of swapping in a new v8, you could trade ur car in on one and save urself the hassle. a decent lt1 can be had for 5k, and i bet u can get 2k for ur car. a new motor is going to run u over 3k
