so you now, i've got my stock 97 gt convert auto up to 128 in about a mile's distance, it was setting just under 5k rpm's so it must have some rev limiter

Hey, I need some more power, but i can't swap or turbo (my father doesn't want to see that happen to it). So i need something i can do which will give more power, but won't effect the lifetime of the engine, is relatively cheap and easy to install. 9.5 sec 0-60 is just terrible.

I know everyone is sick of answering these questions, but i tired the search and i wanna know how much a swap from a 5s-fe to a 3s-gte or 3s-ge would be. also i would need to replace the auto with a 5 spd. how much would that be? including the amount of hours for a professional mechanic, estimate. thanks

I've got an entirely stock 1997 GT. I want it be a sleeper., so no exterior stuff. I know about the 3g-ste and 3g-se swap. But whats the price on that, with estimated installation. Same with some turbo kits. But what else is there? CAI's? how much hp would i gain. exhaust? same thing. Anything else you guys can think of would help. I want to spend as little as possible, but still get some power out of the car.
