Check the v6 section, there a couple threads on it. Have you considered a 3.4 swap?

Better Yet!! Install a 3.8 Gen 2 with a super charger. From a SSEI or Similar.
with a few basic Mods. This engine in a F body. Would pull 13's

Lol, you can get 13s with a turbo 2.8, and you don't have to cut your firewall to fit the blower.

3.8 isn't even worth the time.

McLaren made a 2.8L/3.1L (I'm old..can't remember which) turbo setup for the Pontiac Grand Prix. It's certainly do-able.

Re: turbos? on a 2.8 v6

Ohh well. I have a SSEI. I Did not picture the rear mounted TB when posting.
I could see my current pullied set-up dipping into the 12's in a MUCH lighter F-body.
the 3.8 S/C vs 3.1 OR 3.4 could be well worth it. If the firewall was not a Issue. PS. Depends On what turbo kit, Installer & tuner.
