| Well, I purchased a '97 supercharged Riviera from a family member and was wondering about mods/tuning. My plan was for a sleeper. No BIG external differances (sound isn't a biggie as long as it doesn't roar). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!  | |

| Welcome and congrats on the purchase.
What are your goals for 1/4 mile times and how much are you looking to spend?
High ratio rockers , intake and headers should net low 14-high 13 second 1/4 mile times with a decent tune..From there I'd add a gen V blower and norhtstar throttle body , and that should be good towards mid 13s...and still drive almost like stock and be perfectly streetable. | |
