lmao "resist" aka resistor mod
03-27-2015
How to find out the year of my engine, the year of my car is a 97 gt but I blew the heads on my engine awhile back so I don't really know what year engine the car shop installed but it's not a 97 because the alternator assembly is different
03-27-2015
if the alt is different its a 99 up engine. all your parts are the same still. just a different alt bracket and alt on there now. so just order 97 parts.

Ok what good mods can I do to my 3800 gt engine it's not supercharged

Save up and also reseach a top swap. Or sell the car and get a GTP

Depends on what your goal is. Do you want just looks, or more power? What is your budget? Can you do most of the work yourself or will you have to have a shop do it? The best way to get power out of it would be turbo. Yes, you "could" top-swap it but then you have to have it tuned and a bunch of other things and it still may not run right and won't have the power a turbo can provide for almost the same cost.

Save for a built transmission from Dave over at tripleedgeperformance.com Those 20's aren't going to be kind to it. They are the weak point on these cars. Have the LIM gaskets been replaced with the updated aluminum ones? That's known to be an issue too.

dude, i know how you can pick up a half a second in the quarter mile....yank all 500 lbs of that ****ty stereo equipment back out...
in all seriousness the comments about the trans are pretty true. since its a 97gt its a 4t60 which is even weaker then the 4t65 in the other cars. with 20's either be really nice to it or dont expect it to last long. if you want power the only real ways to get it are a turbo or top swap/engine swap.
03-29-2015
The general rule of thumb is if your goal is under 300whp then top swap. If more than 300whp than turbo. Both setups though should have a built trans in mind.
Also nobody has mentioned upgrading the handling. Sway bars and trailing arms will make quite the difference.

Lol is this still seriously a thread?
