Here's a couple things you can try- or bring it to me, and i'll do the upgrades for you. :) get rid of the engine fan- you can do a electric fan conversion, takes alot of hp to run the fan You can also do a serpentine belt conversion with parts from an early 3.0 front drive car. this conversion is 268% more efficent than the rear drive setup. yes- 268% The 4.1 was available with a factory aluminum 4bbl intake- its a good intake for a cheap upgrade and adds a good bit of low end torque. The exhaust manifolds can be upgraded with stainless steel factory pieces. You can find these on various newer model FWD cars and will make a tremendous difference. Then the usual- scrap the cat- dual exhaust W/ equalizer, maybe some steeper gears in the rear-end- they could be as high as 2:14s, so that would help alot. If you want any more ideas, feel free to contact me at buickguyjon1@sbcglobal.net, and i'll be happy to help. Jon |
