Newb with an '84 Cutlass

[1984Cutlass]

Hey just thought i'd introduce myself. My name's Tyler, i'm 19 years old and i've owned 5 cars since getting my license at the age of 16, three of those cars being V8 mustangs. I just recently ran across this board because I just recently bought my first G Body. It's a 1984 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme with a 307 V8 and Auto. transmission. It's in very good shape I bought it from my parents who have owned it for over nine years. I also have some questions pertaining this car...After reading up some I found that this car has the 200-4R transmission and GM Corporate 7.5 rear end am I correct? I was also wondering what I could do to get every little last bit of horsepower out of this motor? I'm not ready to do a engine swap just yet. I've read a lot that it's not worth it to even try to mod this motor but I was wanting to get a second opinion from a forum like this. I appreciate the help! And here are a few pictures of the car...

Free flowing air filter ( 3" open element K&N) & 2.5" dual exhaust with Summit Super Turbos or Summit Force mufflers. The Force's have a good-as or better than Flowmaster sound at 1/3 the cost.

Other than that, your pissing money away on a useless Olds turd of a motor.

BTW, nice car. What did give for it??

Welcome!
Yes, you are correct about your trans and rear axle.
Looks like a nice car you got there.

+1 on the air cleaner and exaust.
If emissions dosent test old cars in your state much like they dont in ny and other places.

Lose all the polution stuff, switch to a pre polution q-jet if you can find one (I reccomend holley, but most people around here like oem carbs)
Basic tune up, do wires, plugs, cap coil.
oil change (dont use a fram filter)

if your going to do exaust, get headers for sure.

Nice start tho. Welcome

Yeah, emissions permitting, I'd say headers with a nice exhaust. Different ignition, intake and carb just to start things off, and get rid of all the smog stuff (again, if you can). Welcome to the forum by the way, thats a clean Cutlass you got there.
