is it TPI?

some guys say that gutting the MAF screens helps.. i wouldn't do that, but that's just my opinion..

unbolt the little flaps in your airbox to open up some air..

some guys take out the foglights and run tubing from behind there up to the intake plenum

port the crap out of that big hump right behind the throttle body on your plenum

get an airfoil

gasketmatch all TPI surfaces

good tune-up

supposedly running 92 octane for awhile will allow the computer to adjust to the higher octane and it will advance the timing more (i can't see why spending 10% more on gas equates to a good cash investment, though)

make sure your TPS voltage is on target, having it misadjusted definitely can take away the snappy off the line feeling..

uhm, what else.. maybe run soem fuel injector cleaner once or twice to make sure everything is clean? balancing fuel injectors is expensive but imo worth it..

change your oxygen sensor
