i got a 3800 sc

Don't use that engine, seriously.  A stock 3500 makes almost the exact same amount of power, weighs less, and will be 15 times less work. I bought a 3500 for $500.  So for under $1000 total you should easily be able to get the same amount of power in the car in a weekend if you do your research firs...

The real point is that the first 7 or 8 posts in this topic are the funniest things I've read in a while, and thats what really matters.

Bunch of newbs

Well now, saying its not worth it, that is very subjective.  Hundreds of dollars on polished intakes, larger throttle bodies, and the basic upper end equipment is what I would say is not worth it.  Spending lots (over $1000 to me) of money to make a beretta look hot is definitely not worth it, its a...

!NOS!

I had my car broken into and made a claim.  I brought it in to the shop with a supercharger sticking out of the hood and most of the interior missing.  Never heard anything from the insurance company about it.

Yeah, vettes are everywhere around here.  I like them, but I'd rather see the beretta done.

to cut, or not to cut

This reminds me of the stuff I did to my car when I was in highschool.  

The maximum legal height here in michigan is 38 inches above the OEM hood at it's highest point.  All the cool kids go for 40 inches just to mess with The Man.

Swapping 3.3 for a 3800 in a 93 Grand Am Gt

No one realizes how many similar parts there are between the 3300 and the GNX engine... one person does though.

55-60 A is what the website says for hardness.  I thought it was harder than that.  Either way, I was happy with it's performance.

To be completely honest, I just followed Geoff's word.  I would imagine that doing it now would not harm anything.

Incase you guys weren't hip to harness tools, just use the delco green handle pick to just remover the wire so you don't have to cut anything and can just plug it back in if you want to. http://www.terminalsupplyco.com/products/prod_catalog_pdf.asp click "terminals" and go to page 46 to se...
