I have a line on a low mileage 1997 buick s/c 3.8. I plan to change the intake to a k&M kit and do an exhaust thing....I also want to drop one cog on the supercharger and change the chip....My questions are....whats the indemic problem with the brakes.....was there a fix for the intake manifold gasket that was put in place by the company?,,,,Is there any other perfomrnace blocks available......???? Why do I hear about so many transmission troubles on these vehicles.......If available, I would like to drive it stock, then build a tougher engine,,,,and do a fix on the brakes........I am told that with headers, a k and n, chip changes, and a few minor details that you can get to 300 hp. Any info that you can provide w ould be helpful......oh yes...where is a good place to get some proven speed parts.... Please contact me at my email at snipped-for-privacy@shaw.ca I love the lines, not impressed with the power train..... I wish rouse or some other builder did these engines.
