Some quick cheap mods to bump power are removing the air silencer in your air cleaner (it is a metal ting that runs right around the TBI inside the air cleaner), it is tack welded on and comes right off. The air cleaner is very restrictive,you can replace it with a truck air cleaner and put in Â*a 3 inch K&N. Or the way I went was to buy a dual snorkel HO 305 air cleaner (I just happen to have another, check the classifides). A few Minor mods and it goes right on. K&N filter is always a good idea and maybe even a K&N extreme flow lid. The lid doesn't quite cover the whole air cleaner so i added a little foam weatherstripping around the edges to seal it up nicely. A Throttle body spacer is relatively cheap (about $50)and makes some improvement but make sure you don't go more then .5" thick or you will run into throttle linkage problems. A good hi flow cat and car back Â*works wonders also and you can gain some more ponies with a PCM chip. While you are working on it give it a good tune up with some nicer ignition parts from places like MSD, Moroso or Accel. all in all you can probably make between 30-45 more HP with those mods.
