Default Small Steps

Thought I would pry the great minds out there.

I have had my 69 for almost 2 years now and starting to tinker more but like most people, money keeps me from doing a lot. I catch some real good tricks from the threads but so much of it has the price tag to go along.

What are some of the shallow pocket tricks to do?

like header wrap and how much does it help?
I know there are more things out there..

Thanks for the help

I woud'nt recommend exhaust wraps, orginally I was going to do it but a few guys have posted that theirs cuaght on fire.

A inexpensive thing that would give you some extra ponies is Lar's recurve kit I think the complete kit is $40.00 and it would bring the timing in sooner for a more powerful ride.
