Best $10 I've spent

Just put in some CK rods and a b hanger. Reading all the advice from everyone on the board, I decided to replace my L hanger and CH rods. No more bog when I open the secondaries up!!

Anybody else have any more $10 Fixes?

Mines not really a fix, but when I was first starting to get my 355 together I was having a small hood clearence issue. I picked up a small 2 inch filter just to get the car going. Few weeks back I went and picked up a new filter about 2 3/4 tall. 3 inch is just too big. I noticed the car surging and running lean so I re-tuned it, and gained 20hp and 11ftlbs at the wheels from a $10.00 paper filter.

Apparently I was choking the motor pretty bad. I had to change my primary jets from 60's to 66's to bring it back to about 12.7:1.
