Zip tie mod is a good one. (take off the cover hiding the air filter and zip tie the filter to the bottom). zipties are the large ones. I got my 04 A4 C5(2.73 gears) down to 12.923 @ 107 by doing that, ofcourse I had good air that night too.

Ive never heard free and vette used in the same sentence.

Theres a CAGS eliminator via resistor but thats only for a M6 (manual 6-speed)
Theres also a zip tie mod as listed above.

I think the cheapest thing Ive bought on my car is a $50 thermostat but you wont get much of a performance gain if any from that.

On hot days you will though. These cars lose a lot of power when they get above 200F coolant temps, so changing the thermostat allows you to retain more of your original power when the outside temperature is hotter.
