You know that the engine in that car is a NA and not a supercharged engine right? At least from that picture angle.

Remove the Series II cover and you'll know right away. Black molded plenum means NA. My bet is on a NA engine.

That's the S2 N/A cover. 95 LSS would be S1, which looks totally different.
What's wrong with Bonnevilles?

It's definatly an L36 and therefore not worth my time. Although I did find this little gem:

Re: Lookin' at this. Anything model specific to watch out fo
A coworker of mine had a '95 LSS L36 - the supercharged motor was an option - LSS's aren't automatically supercharged, in fact they're not very common at all. He liked beating on the thing, and actually the intake and tranny both went at 130k, and he scrapped it. Too bad, as it was in decent shape. We'd occasionally have fun after work running my Mustang or '91 Olds 88 up against it.
