Bringing back a beauty
HI i have 1995 buick riviera the car is so ulgy and awsome!!!! i dont know why the stoped making them its got 170,000 miles on a first gen 3800 supercharged engine and it needs some love but with enough money and time it will be a true buick sleeper car for thos of you that dont know what a sleeper car is. its a car that you see at a stop light, and think i could smoke that old junk buick. but when the light turns green the only thing your smoking is the exust as it pulles away from you.... ive had it for a month so far and ive reinforsed the frame, put new air ride shocks did a lower and upper intake manifold gasket and changed the supercharger clupler i got it all back togher and i think i switched a vacume line around because the cars ideling high and still starting hard also running a little hot the supercharger isent clanking like it useto but im gitting a high pitch grind noise from it at idle. i think i need new berrings in the back of it can you change them?if so where can i order them ? also what do you guys think of cutting out the port on the bottom of the supercharger, does it increse performance? and i know a smaller pully does the trick but how small should i go befor need to retro fit or "cobing" a inercoller to the ac condencer i just want some ideas to make this old buick a bad boy on the street!!! thanks

Hailing from the Elmira area here!! Welcome to the forum Scott.
Here is a decent source for SC parts... http://shop.zzperformance.com/store/...ton-Parts.aspx
Pulley size? Not sure about that. You can only go so far before tuning is needed and a intercooler is needed.
