i have a 95 bonneville, installed a 99 grand prix gt engine into it, the only mod ive done is the cold air intake, gave me lil boost !! is it worth trying to put a supercharger on it and if so what else would have to be done to the engine without really breaking my pockets ? sometimes i get a lead foot, jus want a lil more hp !!!

there a lot you can do about it you have a good engine and the 95 bonny is very light but youre pcm is obd1,5 and there not much tuning for it but the basic bolt on will work just fine

well i actually had to switch the pcm also cause after i got the engine instaled it'll run for afew hours then it jus started shutting down while i was driving or sitting at idle ! so thats when i took it back to the shop and the told the guy wut it was doin, and i asked him if the pcm would have anything to do with it shutting down cause i know enough to diagnose a vehicle myself and everything that i checked that i thought i would make it shut down was fine. so he ordered a pcm for the 99 grand prix and i havent had any problems since ! so does it still matter that i changed the pcm if a 99 is obd 2 ?

Sell the car and buy an SSEi if you're thinking of a supercharger. There are other options, but that is by far the cheapest.
