Anyone have any idea on how I can go about this task? I’v got a '96 caddy seville and I just long to make it my own custom V series. Just wondering what the experts suggest. Untill then, what can I do for more power? AKA: whats the cheapest/most effective way ---

> [@The\_Russian](#): > > REAL good help, cmon wheres the mod gods That is the nitrous button thumb. Thats really the cheapest way to add power. As far as supercharging goes, I’m sure Vortech or Paxton make something for that car. If not, there is always custom work that can be done. That gets expensive though. Centrifugal superchargers are probably the best bet. I don’t know of any roots style made for the Northstar V8. Of course I dont think a lot of 50 something guys (the usual Cadillac buying age) are supercharging their Caddys either. Why not make it really different and throw some turbos on?? ---
