A local guy has a 04 Monte Carlo that has a 3.8 V6 with a turbo kit installed pushing a claimed 9lbs of boost and some 40lb injectors, that's it, no other mods. He is in the process of tuning it now and he says that with a intercooler, tuning and turning up the boost to 20+ it will be pushing 500+ HP!! He has never claimed that his car will beat my truck, but i can tell that he thinks it will the way it sits now. I don't know because i don't race my truck, but i do know that its very quick. What do you guys think?

If you are boosting up fine with no knock and your tune is solid I would say go for it.

04 Monte, that's FWD right>?
Doesn't matter how much HP hes making he wont hook it up very well.

He probably will want to race from a roll like those SRT-4's, lol. FWD sucks!

Well even if he makes 1000hp there is no way his 4T60E will hold it so i would say go get some

A performance shop here in Indy has a ZZP turboed 06 grand prix and its got a few mods. It put down 353/388 to the wheels at 11lbs. I took a ride in it during their open house and its damn fast! The major advantage you have is AWD because the GP couldn't hook at all, until stickies and rear preload bars. I know you'll kill it out of the hole!! As much as I've been around Series 2 and 3 3.8s that car won't make it to 20lbs for long. Stock pistons wont survive.

I think the kit mentioned in a post above is the one he has, but he don't have the intercooler yet. He is also planning a fully built engine in the future, super nice guy and his car is the same.
