The main question is, Do you want to get a few mods and maybe gain 20-30 HP?
Do you want to top swap and gain 40-80?
Or do you want to go turbo and be able to run 400+ HP?
All that comes down to is money and what sort of car you like driving.

20 -30 would be nice i just want to get started on working on my car its something i have always wanted to do

CAI, flipped motor mounts, tune.
Start with those,
Then try downpipe, HV3, ER rockers.
01-18-2010
that it for now
01-18-2010
And a PLOG.
After that, thats about all you can really do with a GT unless you go with a cam or a head/cam combo.
You'd be better off top swapping if you wanted/can afford to do heads and a cam.

how do you go about flipping the motor mounts
01-18-2010
take them off and flip them over

I'd say go downpipe before CAI/FWI. You will be gratefull to get rid of the U-Bend. Loosen up the exhaust befoe you push more air through it.

Ideally, you should do all those mods at once.

Take the dog bone mounts off. Then where they mount to the body there is a rubber bushing. Tighten just the bolt in the bushing and use to wrenches to spin it inside the metal mount. You can use some lube to make it move easier.

where are the motor mounts was the main question
01-19-2010
you have a crappy transmission. start there.
01-19-2010
i don't care about the transmission right know i just what some starter projects like i said before i don't know a lot about motors
01-19-2010
you will care about the transmission when it takes a duece and youre stuck without a car to drive. the 4t60e in your '97 blows.

^^I was gonna say...first mod should be a 4T65E...with an HD Diff...that thing will take a crap after the first few 3rd to 1st downshifts. Vacuum powered junk '97 SE/GT trans FTMFL
On a side note...if you don't know a lot about motors...don't mod a car...but thats just me...I went about helping people and learning before I got my car

Well i just got the car not to long ago i really dont have a lot of money so i really dont want to transmission work im not going to race the car i would just like so more power
01-21-2010
well then to put it in your language, that more power is going to toast your transmission. so either you replace the transmission now or do it later shortly after you start modifying it.
