Road to 400 WHP | 3800

Bo C is back to walk you through the mods needed to achieve your goal whether you want to stick with the blower or swap to a turbo. Of course, the Moose is back to represent the turbo route, along with one of our resident Grand Prix M90 builds, Grimace.

While the road is a bit shorter if you go turbo, we realize many of you love to retain that blower whine and don't mind a challenge. Whichever lane you choose, grab the wheel and hold on while we head down the Road to 400 with the beloved 3800!

You guys should make a build list with all of these recommendations for both “Road to 300 whp” and “Road to 400 whp” on your website with links. Maybe not in a ‘Stage’ format because that seems cheesy, at least to me, but it could really help newcomers/mid-experienced people to the W-Body platform have an easier route to success all in one place. Keep up the good work! Love seeing these videos. I’d also love to see a video based on an NA 3.8 going top swap or turbo, and your recommendations too.

Was a fun platform 10 years ago. It’s crazy on non competitive this platform is now. Even turbo 3.8s rarely touch 10s. But I had so much fun in mine

You hit the nail on the head about the trans. Keeping it cool is a must. You do that, they will last. Appreciate all the work y’all done on my Monte SS. She’s still screaming with no issues and pissing off a lot of v8 owners 😂😂😂😂

Bo knows his stuff. "Ask me how I know" lol.. running 11.9 in the quarter with 2.0 60' @ 121

Turbo gets good gas mileage when you are out of the boost😉

Great video. Grimace’s wheels are sweet. I’ve always loved their color.

Just bought some spare bits for my Holden Commodore from you guys! You guys seem super awesome, and really know what you're doing with the 3800. I live in the UK, and found the car, and instantly bought it once I figured out what engine it runs. Happy to see I can get parts for the engine easy enough from ya'll.

Thank you ZZP for displaying Americas last flagship sedans that are the longest lasting cars on the road. Praise the coveted 3.8

The 3800 is such a good engine. I need to add some mods to my 3800 supercharged v6 swap in my Pontiac 6000 wagon.

I have a corvette C5 built but I still miss my gtp coupe with the zzp mods I might have to buy another

[simpleclean]

If you were gonna do a Turbo setup. Some rods, low compression pistons, cams, ported heads, injectors and a good tune. 600-800hp. Block can handle it

[vteckid]

Been waiting for the 2nd part of this 😆

[TheeTicoswagg]

I literally just updated my budget after watching that video!!! #3800gang

[Adam-lyv]

Had a 02 4 door, stock it ran a 14.4 spinning like crazy with trac control on. Great car for many years

[johnmarshjr]

I had friends back in the day with the Grand Prix, s they were quick. Head gaskets were the weak point, a good new modern material gasket will do it

[neuromancer]

Very nice Bo! Very glad ur working on my car!

[Bogan_Gaming]

Us aussies have cracked 500rwhp on the m90 :P

[johnnygeorgopoulos]

You guys should just do an LS4/4T80E swap with a Northstar Eaton blower, a good DOD delete and cam, and a little head work and make 600hp+
