Okay, I got a '84 Buick Regal, 4-door, with the stock V6. I intend to put a K&N cool-air induction system on it. Beside going into the engine I not sure what else I could do. Please help. E-Mail me at Snaps0007@aol.com if you have an ideas for me.

You're not going to find much power in that motor without some major work. I wouldn't recommend nitrous, as the motor just isn't that strong.

Being that this site only talks about Buick power, our recommendations would be limited. Short of a TR drivetrain swap, I'd consider something like a 455 Buick V8. It is easier than you might think. Have a look at http://www.gnttype.org/techarea/swaps/bbb_regal.html
