98 supercharged, how to make more powerful?

I have a 98 3.4 v6 and its supercharged. I wanna make it more powerful but I dont wanna dig too deep.˟I have aftermarket manifolds as well. Cold air intake? No genius when it comes to this stuff.

How much more power do you want?
How long would you like it to make this increased power before it blows up??
No long lasting power mods are ever cheap.

You could go nitrous.

Nothing too extreme. Nitrous seems to be a bit much. Haha. I've read about the programmers n all I've really found is that theyre junk. Same with the power chips. Is that true?

I believe you can change the pulley on your charger do get more boost. Maybe a meth injection kit after that. Or a good 75 shot of nitrous

Just make it smaller right? And would that make my engine wear faster or the s/c wear faster?

The most common way to boost the output of the supercharged 3.4's is through this kit here:

Quite a few guys on here are running this kit. Once I get the money, I'll be adding it to my truck too.

If your worried about extra wear on the engine why do you want to push more power out of it?

Do you have a tune / bigger injectors yet? If not, that is the first thing you need to do. You will gain 30-40hp and will actually cause less stress on the engine.

never heard of anyone complain about the power from a supercharged 3.4, but Ok.

You have aftermarket "manifolds" which makes zero sense, because manifolds are a stock part. I think you mean headers?

You could add a cold air intake, but then I wouldn't take it offroad, unless it has a enclosed casing.

7th injector would be nice, but I mean, its not gonna be a race car with just a 7th injector.

I'd keep it how it is.

Upgrade the injectors, cooler plugs, and maybe some higher octane gas.

What plugs are you running now?
What octane are you running now?
Intercooler might make a difference...just not sure what yer output numbers are now. Have you had yer T-100 spec'd at a dyno shop? Post up the numbers. I'm guessing unless you already have the 7th injector that yer running lean at the top end and have a good chance of killing yer engine.

What size of tires do you have on there now? Stock gearing? Auto or manual transmission? If it's an auto, do you know if the valve body/torque converter was modified/upgraded? If not, then you probably burned up some of yer clutches already. Give John a buzz over at Import Performance Transmission and he'll give you the real skinny on what needs to happen.

There is no replacement for displacement. Having said that, unless you're ready to drop a crap ton of money into building the motor to handle more boost and the hardware/software to control the fuel, then don't. You can just add methanol injection for cheaper then the 7th injector kit. However you'll have to constantly buy methanol or approved fuel. The 7th injector kit has everything you'd need and will just pull gas from the tank. It will also have a really basic tuning ability. You will still need to buy a A/F ratio guage to monitor the ratio and to aid with the tuning.
