The seats all have the same bolt pattern. If you have a power driver'* seat, then you can switch to the Bonneville SE/SLE bucket seats that have one driver'* side power seat and one manual seat for the passenger. No extra wiring necessary IIRC. If you want both to be 9-way power seats, then there'* some extra wiring needed.
You have the L27 engine, which has about 170 HP stock and is pretty durable. No one yet has modified that engine to much past stock. One person did a supercharger top swap off of the Series 1 L67, but it took a lot of extra work and wound up in worn out bearings. To get quite a lot more power in the easiest way, supposing you can bend pipes, is to find a way to tune the car and then put in a turbocharger. You might need a new transmission sooner than later, but that is to be expected.

A 97 Regal? In a 93 Bonneville? Are you sure? That pretty much counts as an engine swap, not just a replacement. You moved up to a newer version of the 3800, supposing you do have the 97 Regal engine, but also you got a new PCM and wiring setup and most likely a new transmission. If you really did have someone put in the time to swap in all those necessary things to move to the different Series 2 engine, then you actually have quite a bit of headroom once you figure out which PCM you have.

I cleaned it up pretty nicely, looks stock. I will say tho to anyone looking to do this mod in the future and planning on using a dremmel, BEWARE flying bits of molten plastic. LOL That ISH burns man.LOL

Well thanks to the wonderful guides and helpful people on here, this is what I have been able to accomplish so far:
Painted my caplipers red, as well as my strut bar.
Seafoamed my car, after which I changed the oil, filter, and fuel filter.
I installed a cool switch on my faceplate below my dash left of my steering wheel for my light strip above my dash.
Fixed a couple AV vents and found my trunk cover that goes behind my rear seats in the middle.
Installed Predator Pedal covers.
Did my own tune up!
Replace the o2 sensor.
Got nice new tires, now I can take corners real well.
Was able to find a few blown fuses and replaced them.
I now drive without the "heat trap of death" over my engine.
Put on those fancy RainX wiper blades.
Soon I am going to buy a K&N air filter and replace it after I gut my airbox.
Planning to clear my corners as well.
I probably forgot something.

Slight progress has been made on the SLO'* audio install, and pictures will come soon. The supercharger and other parts are still here, and that'* been on pause due to work on little things. The 94 has had some more work done but only so much as to twist an axle and spill transmission fluid all over the place. Fun stuff.
