Not bad at all. Is that factory supercharged or did you add it?

And off topic question: shouldn't that heat shield isolate his intake enough or no?
Not as much benefit as putting it out of the engine bay completely, it's better than some setups I've seen but not the best.
However, that car! I love the color!
@Ed, I'm guessing it's not factory...Doesn't seem like it is anyway. Judging by how the things on it are set up anyway...

the cone filter (k&n) is clean, its only about 12yrs old and due for a new one. engine came from a buick ultra, trans and ecm came from a ssei. zzp 3.3 pully, 180 t-stat, colder plugs, accel 8.8 wires, accel coil packs, stainless steel headers, magnaflo highflow cat, 2.5" dual exhaust from 93 sse, high volume/pressure fuel pump. a cam and intercooler are in the future. it is the original color,was repainted last year after bad accident crushed driver side. had it since 01 and dont plan to ever get rid of it.
3.3 pulley?! Have you scanned for KR? You have to be making a bunch of it, even with headers.
I'd be wary of those Accel coils. Bunch of people have had issues with them. Nothing is wrong with the OEM S/C (blue tab) coils.

no kr that i know of,have not scanned for it. main problem that did have was under acceleration the added heat and pressure was to much for the oem coil packs to produce a spark causing random missfires, but not enough to cause check engine light. smaller spark plug gap and stronger coil packs solved problem. i have a 3.0 pully that i run some times with no problems
You cannot "feel" KR. You're doing damage to your motor running it with the 3.3, let alone the 3.0. It may pull hard and seem to run great, but your pistons and internals are being stressed beyond belief. Get a scanner on it ASAP.

KR won't throw a code. KR is something you need to SCAN for, with a live-data scanner.
