does your car have a MAF? not really that important, just makes a difference where you would have to put teh nozzle. the further upstream(closer to the turbo) you can get the nozzle the better the evaporative effect of the charge.
i also found that one of the key weaknesses in teh 2.8 is the head bolts. apparently gm undersized them a bit. i am look around to see if anyone offers a stud kit, but so far no success.
there is also a wide interchange of final drive gear ratios available from what i am seeing. since 75% or more of gm's transaxles use teh same output and final drive we can give your car a bit more gear with a good hunt in the junk yard.
still haven't found a wya to get a good wheel stand out of independant suspension, but at least we know the power potential is there.

well 300 hp should get me a quarter mile time worth bragging about low thirteens i think high twelves i cant wait
