the 3.8 supercharged engines ahve always had issues. i had the regular 3.8 in gp, and got it to hit 246on a dyno with some mods, my buddy hit almost 300 hp with his gtp, but the engine went at 60,000 miles. for some reason, they have a ton problems past 50,000 miles. if your serious about your gp, drop in the regular 3.8, and modify that. there are a ton of parts for that engine now, and they even have a turbo for it. go to [www.pfyc.com](http://www.pfyc.com), they have anything you can imagine for the gp’s.
