From America Land
21. Feb 2007 at 08:48
 
Found this place in a link on Cadillacowners.com, liked it so I figured I'd join up.  I've got a white 97 Catera that I hope will one day draw crowds to its amazing glory.  Right now it's kinda junky due to lack of funds Cry.  Lookin' forward to it Thumbs Up!.

Welcome to the site Smiley

I believe Omegas and Caterras are quite similar, except yours has less of the emissions stuff such as EGR valves as air injection...

Welcome from another Catera owner. You are not alone. This is a great place with friendly, knowledgeable people despite the fact their steering wheel's on the wrong side . The've helped me a  lot already. You might need a translator though. They write with an accent.  Wink Wink

So that would be a good way of lowering the compression to stick a blower of some description on it then would it?
