Air Filter and Fuel choice...

[gpadilla1071]

Hello all,

I'm a new member and just recently bought my first Buick Turbo. I was wondering what would be the best air filter (besides K&N) that will be good for the car and what type of gas will be good for a daily driver. Currently I'm on the budget and cannot afford to buy the real good stuff until next year. I haven't driven the car since I bought it because I want to make sure the car has the right stuff to be driven daily. Any info greatly appreciated. This site rulez!!! :biggrin:

air/fuel

:biggrin: https://secure.mysuperpageshosting.com/kirbanperformance.com/index1.htm Search air. :biggrin: use the open base part # 6592 with the K&N. Adds a little more air and less restriction. Remove all but one screen from the MAF too. Fuel = 93 or 94 octane. I like the Sunoco 94. A little more pricey but never any knock issues.

I'll leave the air filter question to others. I have had a K&N since 3 weeks after I bought the car.

If you don't want to drive it like a granny (no boost driving), you NEED 93 (or 91 if that's all you can get), and a modern chip.

Of course, you should do all the spring cleaning, etc etc gnttype.org etc etc fuel pump, etc etc...yada yada.....search.

And welcome. You'll never go back. :biggrin:

You cannot call him you have to get it thru his site. Just fill in the necessarys of your combo and he can burn you a street chip depending on your octane!
