I have been reading alot about people who switched out their V-6s for V-8s. I recently bought a 92 Firebird with the 3.1 V-6. I have also been looking at Supercharges. A Supercharger would cost about 3,000. This would be about the same price as a Good 5.7 V-8 and installation kit. And it would save me all the trouble of the conversion. The wuesiton though is if it is worth it? I know what the manufacturers say about their products, but anyone out there ever have a supercharged V-6? Is the power increase worth the price? And what about fuel economy and engine wear. Supposedly the supercharger would not hurt either one, but I am not so sure. So if anyone out there has any real experience with them I's like their opinions. And anyone who has done both the supercharger and the swap, which would you recommend?

 

No it isn't worth it... maybe a 3.4... but your 3.1 isn't not worth supercharging. shop around and you may be able to find a good deal for a 350 swap.
