In all seriousness you'll spend a lot more on it only to get little more grunt than what the vx s pac is worth. Drive it and enjoy it, save some cash along the way and then buy something better.

Paint it red, put a wing on it, neon lights

and use the search
Mate , there's about 15yrs of info backed up here (JC) about it.

I got mine about 2yrs ago. As I recall there's a whole section on it.

Only two things worth doing. High ratio rockers and diff gears. Anything else in terms of simple mods is really just spending money for no gain

Ooohhh.. I have had 4 3800 powered cars...all Front wheel drive.
1 1998 Bonneville N/A
1 1998 Regal GS Supercharged.
1 2001 Grand Prix GTP Supercharged
1 2004 Grand Prix GTP Comp G Supercharged.

My supercharged cars were always nice and easy to modify.
The Regal.

That Regal is very similar in appearance to our VT Commodore, which ran from late 97 to around 200. It had the 3800 but Commodores have always been RWD.
