I truly believe the 3.8 turbo can make a 1000hp. First you should try and decode your car vin and check inside the trunk lid for a list of opition code. It will give you an idea where your car stand about the rest. You don,t want to cut up a rear opition tb. We will find out this summer once I dyno. I have do away with the factory hyd flat-tappet valvetrain. Now running billit roller cam (lunati custom)with TA retainer plate (no botton/spring) solid roller lifter, pro magnum push rod's 1.6 SBC roller rocker,2.02/1.60 SBC titainum valves , port and polish champion r heads(LAC2). You should contact jack cotton . I do know TB will make a 1000+hp when c116 is fuel. If you still want to keep the car streetable sway in a 4l60e with five gear planterys and extra clutch pack 9inch converter. Raybestos sells a great wet clutch (redline and hi-energy) and kolen steel liner(contact chris at ck performance). The 4l60e can be wire into the buick 3800 obdII ecm from the supercharge application. Tuning is easy with the turnercat software. I don,t have $3000 for xfi. The obdII is the same or better than the after market hi-dollar units. The TB die at hi hp because of fuel issue and poor oil pressuer, will what do you expect when you are running 80's technology? Try to make million car hp. The TB is alway and will alway be the best bang for the buck. The obdII runs on a pentium 4 platform. You can run 85lbs injector without changing drivers, and you can also do away with maf table and go dfi(map,cts,tps table). The stock 3.8 block has a lot of rise casting line in the crankcase casting and you should alway have a block (MAGNAFLUX)radiowave ele check the cylinder wall for thinkness or any low spot. you want stayway from. The casting lines have show to be the weak link in starting cracks. This area will require de-burr/smoothen. MONEY NO PROBLEM..call TA for the 4.1 aluminum block (tons of problem solve) The crankshaft main oil gallary should be drill 3/8 to increace oil flow,ta performance sell the best cam bearing for oil control. If money is not any issue invest in a dry-sump oiling system, with a accumulator. This will do away with the oem oil pump.

I think what I probably will end up doing is just taking it to the best of the best and telling them what I want it to and be, and expecting them to make it happen. That's pretty much how I'll most likely do it. :biggrin:
