Hey, just bought me a 2001 Monte SS!

Was really cool, I wasnt even looking at cars(looking to get a truck) but drove it and loved it!

Browsing through the forums, I have come to find out there is a Supercharged SS too. Is there a way to supercharge my 2001? From what I have gathered the supercharged ones use the same 6 cyl as is in my non supercharged one(3.8l), but i cant find any supercharger kits for my car. :(

It's great as it is but I have a friend with a new stock 6 cyl mustang and hes planning on upping the power, I just want to keep up :)
I have seen turbo kits online, but I like superchargers better in general(having the power curve constant, instead of lagging).

Thanks ahead of time for any info. :)

the intake is different on the SC one as well, if you could find a wrecked SS monte with a SC, then you would be good to go, take the intake and SC, it should not be hard to find a SC kit for these there are lots around....

Thanks, after looking more through the site I found a company that does top swaps and whole engine swaps. Although I was not able to find stand alone superchargers for the engine(specifically for it) www.milzymotorsports.com is close to my home and it seems like a good company.

Check with ZZperformance. You could easily add 25 HP with a new front exhaust manifold (Power log), a 2.5" mandrel bent down pipe which replaces the factory u-bend and has a high flow cat, remove the stock resonator, get a stage 1.0 PCM (this requires premium fuel for most gains). A K&N, thrasher or SLP intake are a good idea too. Although these parts are listed for a 97-03 grand prix, they are both W-body cars. It would be a good idea to read all the tech articles on ZZp's site
