1993 SSEI virtually no options?
I have recently bought a 1993 SSEI, and after purchasing it, found that almost no performance sites carry parts for 3800 series 1. Am i missing something, or are the options for this model year truly that terrible? I heard that i could go a few sizes smaller on my supercharger pulley without too much hassel, but beyond that, nothing. I am looking to spend roughly $2000 or so.
Thanks
Thanks

the series one has a very limited aftermarket, being that its a pretty old engine now. There are pulleys and rockers available, after that most of the stuff is custom

well you could get a smaller supercharger pulley here... Pulley Boys - GMS1
and here are the high ratio roller rockers... ZZ Performance
i had good luck making an intake out of intense racings custom tubing and a k&n cone filter from them. there are other guys on here that have done the same heres the link to it... INTENSE-Racing.com: 3800 - Induction
as for exhaust the guys favor the magnaflow high flow cats and its always a debate for a magnaflow or flowmaster crossflow f body muffler(camaro muffler). if you decide to go magnaflow i would suggest the site Magnaflow Exhaust Systems And Performance Mufflers - Justmagnaflow.com
oh and make sure you get a 180* thermostat too, also the option for a drilled one, which is what i did. heres the link to the thermostat... ZZ Performance
hope this gets you started in the right direction, i know i was surprised to find out that my options were limited after i bought my 95 ssei too. let us know if you need more help

hmm....so, with the parts listed above, what kind of increase in HP are we talking? i am pretty much buying the 95 from my girlfriend and the 95'* are rated at 225 hp. could the pcm be tuned to get more power? also, are the stock internals on a 3800 series 1 L67 forged at the factory?
