No no no.... lol easy cheap mods that are good are a lid and ported TB, stuff like that. Next get headers and an ORY (off road y-pipe) if you want more. but if you just want to get good numbers at the track for cheap get Drag tires and a stall converter

Wow somebody murdered your hood. I would be pissed.
