What free mods are left? I'm looking to do all the free mods that will help me at the track this weekend. I've done the following:
port MAF and TB+throttle stop mod
seal up airbox with silicone and weatherstripping
Fernco mod
pantyhose over airbox (how do I get it to stay?)
!weight (including sway bar)
cutout
remove nostril screens
air up front tires to 45 psi
timing tricker
torque strap
I don't want to do the short belt or hollow log mod yet. But I am interested in raising the coils to stop heat-soak. Do I just use a washer or two? Thanks a lot. Anymore ideas?
