If you get on kazalite and do a search for buick grand nationals you will see some 3.8s doing amazing things ,try 1100 hp on the dyno!! I am on the search like you for all the right parts.I know it can be done.I have personaly seen a grand national pulling close to 500 hp with only a single stock turbo.Stick with the 3.8, I have heard that its probably the best engine GM has ever made.

Good engine or not, aftermarket manufacters just aren't making much for them because for each and every peice SOMEONE has to make the initial investment on designing and producing it.They
don't know that there ARE people looking for these products or they just don't think there are ENOUGH of these people to dignify there time. Remember: they are in business to make a profit.Period. My sugestion for you would be A) pay for the design/production of these product to an applicable company B) start your own company making said products (which would require doing suggestion "A") or C) Get all the 3800 owners looking for aftermarket products to e-mail ,call ,talk to , whine to and petition these aftermarket companies and show
them that there is money to be made here! ... the latter probably being the cheapest solution ;)
Anyway, good luck .Personaly I will hopefully be trading my Firebird for a Trans Am and a real aftermarket soon =(
