Hi from the Riviera world
Hey folks. Don't have a Bonneville but I've worked on a whole bunch of em! One of my favorite cars was the 6000 STE. But...
I have a 1998 Buick Riviera with a handful of mods. Gen V, VS cam, built trans etc. I was at Bill Boost'* get together yesterday and thought I should find the crew and say hello. The Riv pulls off a 13.8@101 right now, but I have more tuning to do and with a good launch will be even better.

I love em, I think they are appropriate for all the big cars. My highway milage did not suffer any, my city milage increased a couple tenths on average over time (I record all gas and odometer readings ever gone into my Riv). My c ar accelerates a bit harder and I can still triple the speed limit, so what'* the need for the 2.93s?
I did not think I would like them at first, but as I was rebuilding the tranny the right parts happened along and I went for it, and I am very glad I did.
I'll pull together my pictures link in a bit.
