Buick Grand National 3.8 L V-6 turbo. Fun cars. I had a 1984 T-Type and I had an 86 Grand National.
I still have a few GM turbo trucks , GMC Syclone, and GMC Tyhpoon. V-6 4.3 liter turbo.
There are positives and negatives with every setup. Generally speaking its easier to get emissions certification with a supercharger. Turbos produce a lot of heat, so there are always some issues with proper heat shielding. A turbo is more efficient than a supercharger. There are different types of superchargers - centrifugal and positive displacement that are generally used, and they have different characteristics. The positive displacement gives you more low end, the centrifugal is more linear.
At STILLEN we have used both positive displacement and centrifugal superchargers on cars and trucks.
There are advantages and disadvantages to every system.
My girlfriend works for GM and has a V-6 C5 Camaro. She wanted to twin turbocharge it. Her background was originally at AEM, and then at Turbonetics, so she knows the right people, the biggest issue with the V-6 being the engine management.
I might see if she is interested in doing either the twin turbo, or a supercharged setup on her car.
