im trying to get free horsepower out of my almost stock 86 GT. i know of one easy way by removing the restriction plate that leads to my air box but anything else that would be worth my while?

Set your ignition timing at 14-15* and run premium fuel, weight reduction, and thats pretty much it.

You could also port your throttle body and spacer!
It's worth a little.

Well, personally: I just took the restrictor plate off the red dragon to give 'er a little more juice, but let's keep that on the down low...It's not exactly street legal.

Hahaha... Old School to the rescue again!

Here's another from the ricers, ad vinyl decals. Sure they're not free, but super cheap!
