3800 L36 Series II Turbocharging Help

[TypeTOwns]

Well i found out the solution, Series III Connecting rods, 130# valve springs, low cut retainers are allowing alot of GTP owners to rev to 7000 rpm. thats awsome

Would you guys reccomend a higher stall torque converter?

Are the 3800 Series III connecting rods different than the Series II? How did you come by this information and would you share it with us? thanks...

The L32 2004 GTP has the hot-forged powdered metal connecting rods.

You may have to do a little machining to fit the rods safely, although they will fit, it may be a good choice from what iv read about clearance, just to be safe.

The New 3800 Series III connecting rods match perfectly with stock L67 pistons, use of other pistons may need be worked with a bit.
