"Wolf in sheep's clothes"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Just the usual GM alternator, but it died under warranty. Otherwise just the expected stuff.

General comments?

This car ROCKS, I've had it for about four years now. Moved across the country pulling a trailer. Very powerful engine, I've got the 3.1 V6 and have been able to push it up to about 290 hp just with minor tweaks.

Same here... how did you get that much horsepower... I have a 3.4 twin cam with 200 horsepower... I'd love more out of it.

Could you tell me how you dealt with the horsepower? I've got a 96 3.1 4 door.

I have a '96 2-door SL... My 3.1 is generous in the power dept., but of course I'd like more power, too. I'd like to know (like everyone else) what kind of minor 'tweaks' you made, and how it affected your gas mileage. Please respond to jgarland@infa.net.

PS... I love the tail-lights and spoilers on the '97 2-door Supremes. Anybody know of aftermarket kits? (Dealership wants about $130 per tail-light and close to $300 for the trunk-mounted wing).

- How did you up the boost pressure?

- Did you lose bottom end with this change?

- How much performance did you gain (0-60/70-120)?

- Won't it knacker the car quicker?

How'd you get 290hp with minor tweaks?

I'd like to hear about these tweaks too. There seems to be enough interest here that you might want to consider putting it on a web page. Just forward the same info to me as you did the previous posters please. Kevin.Smith@theMorgue.org.

I have a 1995 3.1L and would love to get more power out of it. Same as the other posts, let me know about what minor tweaks. Would love to hear about them. Email me: Ohenry5@hotmail.com.

That is IMPOSSIBLE without major modification to the block-it is incapable to handle such power in stock form-even if you did get that power out of it, you would kill the transmission.

I have a 97 cutlass supreme 2 door series III and I would like to know how you got the horsepower boost.

I have a 93 SL. I would most definitely enjoy some hints on how to boost the performance. Calebsnow@ameritech.net. Thanks.

My dad just got me a 1995 Supreme SL 3.1L V6. I've added a K&N filtercharger which adds around 15 horses for only $30. I could tell the difference right away. Like the others, please tell me how you got it up to that much HP with only minor tweaks!!! Email me at Jensen185@aol.com.
