from here http://engine.firebirdv6.com/3800history.html
cool site to read

Nearly all of the Series II refinements invested in the normally aspirated 3800 V-6 were passed on to the supercharged version in 1996. In addition, the supercharger'* internal displacement was increased from 62 to 90 cubic inches. Driving the blower 1.8 times faster than crankshaft speed yields a maximum full-throttle boost of 7.5 psi and impressive output: 240 horsepower at 5200 rpm and 280 lb-ft of torque at 3600 rpm.

You may want to take a look at the performance packages that INTENSE offers. INTENSE has the fastest SSEi on the planet at 10.7 and can really make your car sing

Other Bonneville times can be seen at the 1/4 mile list: www.rogue-cavern.net/fwdquarter.html
