Hi, I have the same model and have been unable to boost power much. I just had the exhaust done, a local shop custom did one for 250$. It definately helped but it still lacks power. I already have a K&N drop in filter. I was going to check the vacuum lines and make sure evrything is still good. good luck rodel "Mark Jefferis" <jefferisnopsamuoregon.edu> wrote in message news:96cvh6$224$1nopsam.uoregon.edu... > I have a 1986 Saab 900 with the 8-valve motor.
