The 97 engine is the same as the 96 engine. Meaning OBDII and a dual cat exhaust. For the most part, the longblock is virtually identical to the 93-95 cars.

Make sure your car is properly tuned and running at peak form. Then I would dig in with some headers. Definately a good bolt on. Or you could go postal and bolt in a nitrous kit!

Do you have to pass emissions at Camp P or are you exempt? I don't know for sure, but I thought CA would nail you if you installed LTs. Just a heads up in case you weren't aware of CA's emissions laws.
