Re: getting the most out of my 2.8L V6

There are no commercial available turbo kits for your 2.8L in an F-body. This is something that you put together yourself or pay someone that can build a custom set-up.

To get the most out of it will require swapping to gen3 FWD top end, called a "hybrid swap."
