Get a high flow air filter,stay away from CAI kits.Trim the rubber air silencer horn.This is on the fender side of the air filter housing.While you have the air filter out for replacement just pull it out from the inside and you will see why it's so restrictive.Trim it at an angle so the top is longer than the bottom and the outside is longer than the inside.You want it to still draw cooler air in from the fender well.You can also remove the screen from in front of the MAM.Just remember to replace the rubber gasket that is around the screen to keep it from leaking at the housing- MAM joint.Underdrive pulleys would be next.Get the stand alone type,stay away from the piggyback kind.Throttle bodies and intake elbows would be the next mod.Use synthetic lubes from the engine to the rear end.They will give an improvement in HP by cutting frictional losses.

steeda underdrive pullies with they're timing adjuster advanced to 14 degrees is good for 10hp and 25ft/lbs of torque, that's what the dyno says anyways.
