Very nice and clean
That old ATR air Filter inlet was almost as restrictive as the orignal airfilter canister. Had one they don't work. A new MAF pipe would flow smoother then the convoluted MAF hose. Mark Hueffman (TR Custom Parts)has some very nice options that will help her breath inhale better. Nice DP as that's definately a worth while upgrade. These cars love to breath another area you may look at is if you have a gutted cat. The cat is probably the most restrictive piece of equipment. Nice score!

Clint,
they came with a powermaster brake setup, electric motor type deal that worked great...when it worked
pull the ecm out from pass side kick panel, undo the cover and post the writings on the chip
clean looking under the hood
I agree. I have rode in a few mustangs that sounded and felt REAL fast but didnt produce good numbers at the track. These cars are quiet and have such a smooth power curve that they feel slow but actually they are not.

Welcome to the dark side, nice looking car. My suggestion is: before you even think about turning any wrenches you need to read, read, read. Almost anything you can think to ask has probably already been answered at least a half a dozen times so learn to use the search function. But if you can't find it, us guys love to talk so we'll answer it again and again. 
As far as 12's. Some good tuning, good gas, more boost, traction, and a good launch and you should be pretty close with out having to spend a fortune. No stretch cooler needed. If you do want a little more a Duttweiler necked stock cooler can be a bargain and have been deep into the 11's. You will need some type of scan tool and with lots of patience you will find out it's not as hard as you think.

remove your turbo sheild, cut around about an inch and half or so from the top and reinstall...it looks like they gorilla'd it on there over the DP

pull off the turbo sheild, while your trimming it, snap some pics of the turbo, prolly stock as is injectors, you'll want to get 60# injectors with matching chip
prepare your self...your gonna get hooked and hooked hard

Go to TurboTweak - Turbo Buick Custom Chips and Parts. and get the 60's with matching chip. You will be very happy you did.
:biggrin: I Was Able To Run Mid 13's With Just Hooker 2 1/2 Exhaust,test Pipe And 235/15/60 Drag Radials.after Adding The Additional Mods List Down On My Signature, My Gn I Believe Should Be In The High 12's
To Low 13's With 17 Psi. I Out Ran A Low Mile Corvette C5 By 2 Cars And A 2007 Dogde Charger Srt-8 Which Both Are Low 13 Second Cars.
STICKY TIRES $1000 DOLLARS SHOULD GET YOU NEAR THE 12'S THAT PRETTY MUCH WHAT I HAS SPENT BEFORE MY TURBO WENT SOUTH ON ME
WELCOME HOME WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR

When you first start reading and tring to learn about these cars its like tring to learn a new language. Just read as much as you can, and ask questions about what you don't understand.
