Look for improveing what you have .There are ways to increase hp ,lower E.T. ,and go faster.Don't forget about brakes what ever you do.

Is '97 new enough to be one of the Eco-Tech engines? If so, there are some nice pieces out for them, I believe even some in GM Performance Parts. Friend of my son's has one in his (Cobalt, I think), runs strong. Decent performance and still good mileage, just what a college kid needs!!!!
