Year and Trim: 1994 Bonneville SSEI
Hello all. I just purchased a long travel sandrail from Arizona and I am looking for some help. It has a 1994 supercharged 3800 in it with an aftermarket electromotive ignition system. I am from Michigan and to my mistake and disappointment the engine does not run as it should when it arrived. I am pretty sure it is in the aftermarket engine management. I may need to get it dyno tuned here. My questions are what are good mods for this engine. I heard of a place called zilla performance, but cannot get ahold of them. I would like to port my supercharger and maybe intake. maybe smaller pulley, after i get it running right. Any help with mods would be great.

Brad from Michigan

Welcome! Where in Michigan are you?

There is mods you can do, but if it is a 1994 L67 (supercharged 3800) then the mods are hard to find and expensive. Nothing like the series II in the later years.

Definitely post some pics if you get a chance!

Welcome!

LOL, ZiLLA Performance is a member on here who hasn't been around much lately due to family stuff, willwren. He's done stuff for a number of members, but it's not on any kind of regular basis by any means. There are other places to go for parts, however.

I did come across his website, but found no contact info, so I came here. I have thought about upgrading to a newer series II motor, but it is hard to make the jump with this having such low miles on it, and a polished blower. If anybody knows how to get in touch with zilla motorsports, please let me know. I would be interested in getting the blower ported, and maybe heads sometime. for you guys. Still trying to get it running right. The engine pops / misfires when I throttle it up. I think it is lean, but not sure why. I can't figure out how to attach pics? Am I missing the attach pics icon?
