Just do a search entitled "free mods" and you'll discover all kinds of things you can do.

A couple of free mods are: Throttle Body Coolent Bypass, which will make the air going in cooler. You can also make a cold air induction Fairly cheap, just go to Ace Hardware and run a tube from your Mass Air Flow sensor and attach a cone air filter. The stock air box is pretty restrictive.


I have one question off the topic how do you gat it to say "'89 Flame Red Metallic Trans Am GTA" (for Example) under your posts?

I had to update my sig. The '89 is the one I was going to buy before finding out it wasn't a GTA.
Go to the Profile link at the top right of the page. You can set your signature in there.

Basic "free mods" might be:

-160 deg stat and fan sw.
-TB coolant bypass.
-MAT relocation.
-cut-back spark plugs.
-advance timing.
-AFPR.
-port plenum & upper runners.
-gut the MAF.
-K&N air filter.

A lot of these are in the Tech Articles section; some on my site.
