I agree with 94NDTA. I was once a pointiac dude.........
Do a intake and an exhaust of some sort for starters. Then go to the $$$ stuff and something that allows you to tune, and a pulley LAST.
when doing engine mods, cheap is not the way to go. This is even more so on cars with Forced Induction. Do it right or don't do it at all.

Hey you're name wouldn't happen to be Luke would it?

Ive got a Regal with the same engine. Rockers, exhaust and tuning should let you put on a 3.5 or 3.4 pulley. I ported my S/C and intake as well and Im running a 3.4 easy. Ill be doing a bit more tuning plus trying to find headers before next season. www.mnclubgp.com for some good knowledge on the 3800, I also am starting to know my way around the engine, especially with starter mods. The Bonny club guys know what theyre doing but ive got a couple guys that help me out on the gp forum. There are a few 3800's trolling around the forum...
Dont talk about your domestic car here to much... the import guys who cant appreciate domestics get all frazzled. Although I hate to say it, the Ford guys here aren't bad.
(to those who cant take a joke ^sarcasm^)Welcome

Ya I have a ZZP Powerlog for the front exhaust manifold.
1.9 mod rockers, aforementioned Plog, ported intake, ported s/c, 3.4 pulley, tune, 2 Magnaflow XL Turbos...Maybe a few other little things here or there...
Hopefully Ill have some TOG headers, 3.3 -3.2 pulley and a good tune to put me into the low 13's. Putting on some slicks would help. -

welcome.....sure are getting to be alot of them there blown 3800's round these parts..
DO NOTHING til you do your homework or you will not be happy with the end results.
supporting mods are needed for sure before you just swap for a smaller pulley.
as was mentioned www.mnclubgp.com there is a MN bonny club, but cannot remember the addy. there is also www.dakotawbody.com i know you are not a w-body but the motor is the same. can get some more one on one with people this way.
should be linkage somewhere in the photo or vid section of the older bonny that created smoke screens at sabin this past year.
