How much money do you have? That way we have a ballpark figure of mods to give you. Get headers...then an intercooler, then a small pulley...like a 3.0" or something...then a tune...
Oh...then bye bye transmission...'97 tranny's are the weak vacuum powered ones.

i have around 1500 or so. what would the limit of mods i could go to without blowing the trans, cuz thats the last thing i want to do lol. would you suggest trying to upgrade the trans or would that be a waste?

triple edge performance trans =] intercooler smaller pulley headers with 3 inch downpipe and a nice set of rumbling mufflers id say =] oo and intercooled with a northstar throttle body and then port your supercharger lim and n* t-body and get a tune and get a t-stat =]

All I got out of that was intercooler, and headers.
Headers have a downpipe, you don't have to get it separate.
Sure? I could have sworn all the '97's had vacuum powered transmissions?
Who knows...all I know is any GP'er that mods like crazy is going to be needing a transmission soon enough.

nope, only the 97 GTs. that is why you never top swap a 97 GT.

Good to know...I just thought it was a universal '97 nightmare...or was I wrong in thinking that the '97's 4T65E-HD was still weaker than the later versions?
Anywho...I still stand buy the intercooler and headers...GTP's love breathing and keeping cool...stock cars are like a cholesterol addicted fat chick in the summertime with no A/C. Get it?

I've heard people say 97' 4T65-HDs were weaker but i'm not for sure. I heard there were a couple small things different in them. Best man for those details would definatly be Trannyman.
I like your quote BTW! LOL
