Max boost so far the highest that has been run is 28 iirc. www.zzperformance.com is a good place www.thrashercharged.com is another www.pfyc.com is another. www.regalgs.org is a good regal specific site and www.clubgp.com is another good site for info as well

lol youre telling me. ive been looking for them for myself as well and he saw me looking at headers and pullyes for it and was like "dude, first i wanted a camaro and you got one, then a trans am, now my buick?? can i drive it?" so i convinced him to save for a used m90 setup

Okhttp://delawarestreetracing.com/dsr/forums/images/emoticons/3gears.gif
you forgot a realy good site for the 3800 is http://www.3800performance.com/
how much boost is the stock pully? and if i go with the 3.25, what would the boost be with that pully.
GTP231, you have the 3.4, how much boost are you seeing?

I figure around 11. I don't have a gauge though. Don't even think about a 3.25 pulley yet
why not the 3.25? i was either going to get the computer reprogrammed or get the tuner to tune the car with.

I'd do some exhaust work first a colder thermostat and some TR6 plugs before I'd consider it. Rockers would be a nice addition with the 3.25 also
ok, my futur upgrades were going to be this:
cold air intake
160 thermostat
colder plugs
pully 3.4 but prefer the 3.25
computer or programmer
down pipe, w/electric cutout
replace the U-bend with straight pipe unless the downpipe will take care of it.
and was thinking of the bigger rocker arms
and then later on down the road headers and exhaust.
