BTW, don't let Foolforthesoul BS you about my car, it'* basically stock, just a gutted airbox, 3.4 pulley, and a rebuilt tranny from INTENSE.
I've had it down to 15.04, but with the slightly taller wheel/tire combo on there right now, she'll only do a 15.45. :(

Gonneville -you've got competition -My parents just bought a pearl white 2002 Park Avenue Ultra and dad'* already fabbing a CAI up as well as rounding up manifolds for me to have ported. Already put 8mm wires, TR55'* plugs and a 180* t-stat in.

I believe he'* got the mod bug now -he'* driven my car on his work route for 3 days since his work car is in getting serviced while I'm out of state.

Well, I know all the 96+ Ultras are */C cars, but I'm not sure about the Series 1 cars. I'm pretty sure it holds true for the 92-95 PAs, but I could be wrong. Bear in mind that the 96+Ultra got 2.93:1 final gears, as opposed to the 3.29 or 3.69 that the SSEi got, so they don't have quite as much punch.
