Commming soon:

Pulley Bros 2.5 inch SC pulley. +15-20 HP
K & N Cold Air Intake w/ heat shield. +5-10 HP
180 degree thermostat
Autolite 604 Copper core plugs.
Tinted windows
Color match spoiler as seen here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BUICK-RIVIERA-CUSTOM-STYLE-SPOILER-1996-2002_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33638QQihZ002QQitemZ120079827490QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWD1V.

I think I can get it up to around 260 HP without any major work.

Looks good.

260 HP sounds good, you'll have to let us know when you get it done how it does. I want to try some mods on my '95 too, I'll just have to make the time to get it done.

Looks good. I've always kinda liked the spoiler, but just can't see myself putting one on mine.

Not really a downside, but coolant temp will decrease a few degrees, imo. For the $$$ I wouldn't do this mod unless you do alt/AC/PS as well. That 3 extra HP is probably an "at best" scenario, and likely peaks in the higher RPMs.
