There isn't much for quick bolt ons with a Series I NA. You can make your own CAI. Search rice pipe and look for a 13 page thread. www.seriesoneperformance.com has some good stuff, mostly internal parts.

you cannot just put a SC on the 3.8 many parts are different.....do a intake, high flow cat and muffler for starters....if you want to go SSEi fast...well it wont happen....unless you change some internal parts..

If you want a supercharger, sell your SE and buy an SSEi (and be prepared for the insurance).
Even the 92 SE can be pretty quick of the line, it'* just not going to have long legs. For about $300, you can do the intake and exhaust.

I was shocked when I found out they do not take the supercharger into effect....talking to my agent they claim they go by size of engines and cylinders, number or doors, and type of vehicle (sedan, convertable, suv, etc).....
for example 98GTP 2 door 800 bucks per 6 months, 98GTP 4 door 545 per 6 months.

Pre Bonne I had a Honda Prelude..they picked up on the SI superquick and that they are the fastest stolen vehicles around here.
I walked in with the Bonne and they didn't charge for supercharger, they didn't think anyone would ever steal it...my rates went down by a lot.

It apparently depends on the insurance company. I've seen dozens of members here post the difference, and it'* significant with some companies. And they go by the VIN, so there'* no hiding it.

what if you do an L67 swap? can anything bad happen with insurance since you are going from NA to */C?
