I need more Power

you dont have a aod-e, you got a 4r70w. research "J-Mod" on the TCCoA.com. btw, tccoa.com is the site for MN12 chassis(like your tbird) related info.

a good head upgrade is PI 2v heads from a 99-04 GT, with eithe the PI cams or a set of even better ones. thats the cheapest way to do it. as for timing chain, when removing the head, id replace it just for good measure, while youre there kinda thing.

and you CAN run true duals, you gotta find a muffler shop that can do good work. they can do it, trust me. if theres a will, theres a way.

check into a roots style blower for your bird, I know they are expensive but it will be the best thing you can do to get some good numbers out of your bird. I remember seeing a blown 97 at Coastal Plains raceway in Jacksonville NC, he was running high 12's with the Allen kit and low boost.

I second the Allen blower kit for your bird. and go to TCCOA forums for the info your looking for.
