Default 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?

2002 WS6 A4, lid/filter, BG Ram Air

I use weatherstripping to seal the lid to the filter/airbox so that no air is taken in from the sides or escapes.

If your air box has baffles, cut them out. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />
