let me start by saying i never did any hop up on a 3.8 supercharger engine . i have to pull to replace cam bearing and would like to change cam but not sure what to put in. i have a gen 3 ported supercharger with a 3.4 pulley making 11psi i have a cold air intake front header 3 inch zzp down pipe and full exhaust done all zzp.tuning not a problem have hp tuner. So i am look for a hint being i will have heads off and cam out .it is a 2002 gtp .
 


Zzp and intense has a good selection of cams to choose from so research and find the one that fits your driving needs and goals
 
No reason to pull the heads for a cam, but depending how bad the cam bearings are and where they went, might be easier to get an engine and build it up. If your dead set on pulling the heads you could probably find a cheap N/A engine to swap them on to it.

Also, have you ever done cam bearings? Either way replace the rear aluminum plate gasket behind the flywheel.
 


wait a min here why does it need a cam bearing? I have never not a single time heard of a cam bearing fail on these.......

lets start with that...

then goals for the car?

then budget? how much do you want to spend?

how about a transmission want to replace/upgrade that too? (this will help determine how bonkers to go with the engine)

330whp 400 wtq stock heads stock bottom end s1x cam gen5 2.8 pulley e85 and headers..... pretty decent numbers imo and plenty to obliterate a transmission............
 
i am not looking to make big power it is my sons car i am pulling engine out so i figured i would do some upgrades .i have built plenty for ford motors i just thought some one would had an idea on a good cam to run on a little bite more then stock
