Some, but not all. Pulley and intercooler are not used on a NA engine.

Ok I have a 92 with a series 1 V6 if I buy some cams, rockers, springs and some PEMS will they in the future work on a Series 2 V6? Also out of curiosity is there a speed limiter on the SSE Bonnevilles? I can't get it to go above 110. Stays there all day at 4000rpm and I know there is more left in it.

I know very little about the S1, but I seem to remember getting those parts are very hard and might need to be custom made. So they wont work on a S2 engine

Yes, the PCM has a limit set. That would need to be tuned out to go faster.

I don't see any advantage to cooler plugs on a NA engine

Only the Pulley and intercooler are not used on an NA engine? Any other difference if someone was using this guide to start modding their NA engine/car?
