I'll try and be helpful and not just tell you what to do.

Here's a quote I got from another thread.
ORIGINAL: 02StanGT

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.
It's found here.

gm makes buick right? so a 3800 buick is the same setup as a 3800 camaro, i just wanted to make sure, my uncle told me but i wanted other opinions befor i jump into anything, lol srry... i just figured out how to get around this site... lol but thanks, i no everyone tells me just buy a new engine, well try convincing ur parents that when u have a good one, lol! dont get me wrong, i'm not spoiled, my mommy and daddy dont buy me all this. I bought the car, i'm buying the parts, i'm paying for work, they still seem to have the authority to say "your not doing that!" lol but he said i cant replace the engine, and i thought it would be cool to have a v6 that keeps up will v8s (stock at least) lol

Its not as easy as you think bud. For one your RWD, and the Buick CSE, and Pontiac GTP are FWD.

Check out Force Fed Fabrications if you want some boost. Or STS turbo for no fab work.

I know a turbo is a lot more work then a supercharger. i've seen superchargers on 3.8l i just want to no what they came off of, cause i'm sure they werent factory built for these cars

Powerdyne used to make a kit. They don't anymore. You'd have to find a used one. How is turbo a lot more work? FFF kit should come with everything you need...
