The series 3, L32 motor has stronger rods, the gen v supercharger and electronic TB. It will accept all mods for the L67 and only came on the 04 and 05 grand prix'*.

It'* a much improved version of the Gen III M90 on the S2 L67.
You can get more boost out of one, and they are more efficient. A Gen V with a 3.4" pulley will easily make more power than a Gen III with a 3.4".
Also, the sound is much more fierce. The Gen V on Rogue'* with the 3.0" sounds mean. I was in the car when I heard it.

our superchargers have a valve that keeps the pressure at a normal level until strong acceleration right? so i am bascially normally aspirated until i press the gas enough to see some boost....if i permanently stay in granny mode, then the supercharger isn't increasing compression?

The gen V has an abradable wear coating that wears in to an almost perfect seal. This makes the blower more efficient. A gen V will move as much air as a gen III with .2 size smaller pulley (3.4 = 3.2) but at a slower rpm and thus cooler. I picked up 50 horsepower going from my gen 3 3.2 to a gen v 3.0.
