BURN

Does anyone know any good websites that have nice in-depth how to's for power adding mods that dont cost an arm and a leg. Im talking like tricks and stuff like home made CAIs and such. Anything would help.

look around on the threads...ive seen links to tutorials of removing the air silencer (it said it takes 5 mins)</P>

Like jugador said, remove silencer, bump up the timing to 14 degrees, go one plug colder than stock, K&N, and you don't need cold air, run 89 octane if it doesn't ping, save your money and get heads and intake.

K&N's a waste of money (cold air does add more horses Steve), the colder the air going into your motor the more oxygen, which means the more fuel needed, which means more power (it's proven on every possible motor used in a car).

Easiest thing to do is to put a cone filter in place of the airbox, or use dryer hose and go from that to the front bumper and put the filter down there. Make sure it's not too low or you might hydro-lock and blow your motor.

Bore yout your own throttle body with some grinding stones, a drill, and a flap wheel to finish it up.

Hack off your muffler. If you've got a 4 banger, it will sound like ***, but you'll get power out of it.
