Default Advise of engine upgrades for H3 3.7

Hello All, Can anyone advise of any good performance parts/mods for the 3.7? Or if a company makes a supercharger or turbo for the 3.7? Thanks!

If you have the funds, forgetabout the mods and replace the power plant.

IMO, I would sell your current H3 and buy an ALPHA.

Along the lines of this dreamer thread (super/turbo charge I5)....... How about installing two in tandem LLR 3.7L I5s?? 10 cylinders!






If you can't live with a modded I5 = Intake, PCM tune, Efan, PP TB, cat back exhaust, and even a header............ That is why GM made the LH8 Alpha.

That's too much work, just install the 572.

I love the look of my H3, but must agree with this guy. I have an I-5 and I hate the powertrain so much... wish I'd done more homework before buying what was intended to be my daily driver so I could keep my sports car in the garage in inclement weather.

I like the H3 enough to invest in aesthetic mods, but having to drive the I-5 every day is borderline intolerable. At this point, though, it's a sunk cost... unless anybody wants to trade me their Alpha.
