:D :D Are you asking..or ready to tell us? :D :D

Assuming you are asking, the best free mod you can do is remove the Frisbee(that's the large flywheel attached to the waterpump), This does aid performance

Next best and doubtful as to results, 1) open airfilter lid, 2) TB Bypass, 3) K&N Filter


As a general rule, if you get into serious mods, you are going to end up spending about $100.00 for each 1 HSP

Headers, roller rockers, etc. are dubious if you don't rework the heads.

Just my HO!

cheap hp
Try this.
You can only pick Two out of three.
1. Good
2. Fast
3. Cheap
If you want good and fast, it won’t be cheap
If you want fast and cheap it won’t be good
If you want good and cheap it wont be fast
If you follow the above, there’s no such thing as cheap horsepower.
:D
