Yeah the only things left would be for me to check the fuel pressure.
I should probably do a fuel filter just as some cheap inscurance.
Im probably gonna fab up a custom CAI using one of these.

Search "rice pipe" and you'll find what you need to make a pretty good CAI.

EDIT: Here's the post.

Thats an interesting read.
Thank you.
I know your all going to hate me because im not using K&N.
But dad would disown me if i did.
He read some tests that gm did on diiferent Filters that they sell.
He said K&N did the worst.
This is from a decade or more ago but he sticks to it.
So theres no Disrespect meant to those of you who do run K&N but dad says some not very nice things about them :angry7:
Anyways so i went and thought of comanies that deal with boost all the time.
Who better than Greddy to make a AirIntake for a boosted application. Sure enough that is what i found :)

This doesn't include Spectre, and it's only the first comparison I found. K&N are great for flow, but don't filter all that well, according to this.

But it does mentioned Oiled foam. This is a dry foam type filter to help keep those types of oils etc out of the blower and MAF.

I assume you mean 2.55? It's about 25hp, add another 5 for the CAI. You'll feel it, but what you'll really feel is about 40ft/lbs of torque gained with the first drop in pulley size.

Not well over time. I'm on my third. It's an LSD and it better hold. Of course, I'm running a 2.0" on a Gen 3 94/95 'charger. ;)

Torsen doesn't make a diff for your car. You don't have a 4T65E. You have a 4T60E(HD).

My old SSEi tranny didn't last long after the pulley drop but I blame alot of it on the previous owner who didn't maintain it much and beat on her. It was a significant power boost for the price but I did all the maintenance on her and made sure she was running right before I did it, including alot of KR scanning. I had a freak of a car that didn't knock no matter what I did at stock levels. It took alot of effort to produce some KR with the pulley drop. Just take it easy until you have the money for a tranny and you'll be fine. :wink:

#1 rule of thumb? Do burnouts in a straight line only, and pray both hook up. One wheel wonders are what kill L67 diffs.

Okay. Well this car appears to have been maintened amzingly well. Im going to get some pics up for you guys so you can see the condition shes in. Dad and i gave it a minor inspection and the transmission feels brand new and the car has 253xxxKM on it. It is a Certa Tranny. (Havent run the vin yet but more than likely the tranny is over 200xxx KM) So after a shift kit the tranny should be fine. The previous owner took really good care of the car.
Thanks for all the advice. I have a spare Supercharger for it. If i post pics of it would you all be able to identify it?

We can tell you what gen the supercharger is if you post pics of the inlet and the front/rear sides from a little above.

Just want to make sure you don't order a diff from them.....you got that warning, right?
