only really "free" mods are TB Bypass, weight removal (quick 35-38 lbs reduction is the spare tire and jack), and taking off your cat (+5hp?), if you change your exhaust around and can get around emissions...also dont gut it

**i couldnt tell anything from the TB bypass only becuase it would feel about the same as taking off with the engine not near operating temp because the 220 degree coolant hasnt been running through the TB to decrease the power.....TB bypass nets about 6-8 rwhp and keeps it there, where normally it would be taken away once the hot coolant began to run threw the TB*


whatever you hear DO NOT descreen the MAF! i repeat do not descreen the MAF, you actually lose horsepower and WILL eventually need a new maf. sooner or later depending on where you live.


if you really want to get into weight reduction...mostly all free!

-spare tire and jack (useless)
-backseats and passanger seat (if you have no friends/dont cart ppl around)
-backseat belts/front passanger seat belt (see above)
-a/c
-radio-unless you listen to music, you can buy a delete panel 2 cover radio hole
-speakers
-washer fluid tank/washer fluid motor (if you never use)

should be around 150lbs give or take knocked off and .10+ quicker ets!
