Quick question on 97 gtp

[Griitz]

I got one, and because of that... ill be around here a lot now!

While I was reading I ran across someone who had said the 97 gtp's dont handle mods as well as 98-2002... just out of curiosity I was wondering what I shouldnt be doing to this car if I dont want it to blow up.

I have K&N intake... 3.5in pull w/ quik exchange, headers, 3in downpipe and 3 in full exhaust, and I wuddnt mind doing more stuff but its more important to me that I get a lot of miles out of this car, 130k and counting.

So any suggestions whatt not to do?

what you should do is get a tune..............fwiw. I have a 98 and not sure other than the PCM is different from your car to ours and I had heard that 97's have a weaker trans(not sure on this...just what I heard).....someone will pop in and expand on this soon....

no this has been discussed before, the 97 gtp has the same tranny.

the 97 gtps have the same tranny as the 98+ its the gt's and se's that have the ****ty vacuume powered tranny

'97 GT - Crap Transmission
'97-'02 GTP - 4T65E-HD...all the same...the '03's have the hardened 4th shaft, and stronger valve body (hence why they can't use a '98-'02 PCM)

Get a tune. And colder plugs.
