Alright im a big fan of muscle cars....and im about to buy the one i want..when i was teenager i always wanted the gt500 for its style and beauty hauling a supercharger....BUT NOW im kinda leaning towards a Pontiac...i wanted the GTO at first but its closed down...so i was wondering if i buy a Pontiac G8 GXP COULD I ADD A SUPERCHARGER TO IT??? to boost it HP form 415 to MORE?!?!?!?!?!


i mean is can i add a supercharger to it?? with out fucking it up??????
 
The Pontiac G8 was built in Australia by Holden, therefore it's been tested at Lang Lang in Victoria under the harshest conditions on earth.

To be totally honest, this is a smack down walk out contest for the Pontiac G8. It eats the Shelby for breakfast in every department. I can't even think of a single thing which the Shelby would be better at.

The 6L V8 in it has been taken to just on 700bhp by the moddies in Australia if that helps.
 
There are definitely kits to do that. I don't know how good they are, and they'll most likely void your warranty, but there should be a way to do it right. The good thing is that the GXP has the LS3 V8, which the factory supercharged LS9 is based on, so it's a tough engine and should handle a fair amount of boost with a good system installed by a competent mechanic. You might also want to try the STS turbo instead of a supercharger. I've read great things about them and there's a kit for the GTO and late model Corvettes so it wouldn't be too hard to get one made for a G8.
