well if you like HP or functionality for free (or minimal cost) then is it worth it to you??

Do some searching but here's a quick list:

Free Ram Air
TB Bypass ($3)
Descreened/Ported MAF (Dremel)
!EGR
Fernco Bellows ($5)
IAT tricker (stupid)
Ported TB (Dremel/Epoxy/Copper Tubing)
!CAGS

All these "could" result in 5-10 rwhp... hope this helps

Here's a few sites for you to find them:

LS1 How To.com
Install University.com
Project Trans Am.com

Also, try the search button first. When you can't find what you're looking for or don't get all of your answers post a thread.


Peace,
Craig.

I had the free ram air mod on my Z28. One day it rained a **** load and I drove threw some high water. Well since the bottom air box is more open with the FRA, water got threw there and killed my motor. The motor was hydrolocked so I had to get a whole new one. Good thing my insurance company covered it. just to let you know.

If you want to get mathematical... defining value of the mod as HP/Money spent... and you get Money spent = 0...

Oh nevermind...
