free mods help please I know this has probably been posted many times before but when i searched I still could not find answer that cleared up my questions. what exactly are the free mods and how do I do each of them. I figure the throttle body bypass is one of them and relocating one of the sensors in the intake closer to the filter is another but what else is considered a free mod? please pictures and instruction would be great. also who is going to budds creek MIR march 1st this sat.

It's been dyno tested and I think the car gained about 6RWHP.

There is also the air scoop one I cant look for the link here at work. But basicly cut a hole in the plastic under your air intake and make a scoop out of metal I used cheap aluminum to scoop the air up towards the filter. Not a seat of the pants improvement but more air always helps. Also check out the LT4KM if you think you have a flase knock problem.

Hey just a heads up the alum. ram air mod...if you ever bump the ground (speed bump) it will bend and dent. Use an anit freez jug, thats what i did. You really cant see it as much and wont get dented up. Ill try and get some pics of mine.

Good Idea I always just bend mine back lol. porksoda just took his plastic off too but I think the scoop forces more air in but I could be wrong.
i can see that bwing a good idea....but i can also see it being bad...it wouoldnt be benifitial for me...i DD my Z and since its raining its *** of right now i would wanna drive the car with a air scoop that low to the ground sucking up a bunch...do know if they have had proba with that or not.
Lol that would suck if that did happen. I think I'm gonna make a small one because of that..figure it's better then nothing
yea i did that one a looong time ago, that coupled with a full 3" ID cold air intake is a good mod. you can hear all the air rushing in when you blip the throttle. it gets your air filter dirtier quicker but who cares if it makes more hp right?
I did the scoop on my Z and I could tell a huge difference on the hwy... The only reason I could tell so much is bc it was the difference of winning and loosing to another camaro I was racing! He had 3.42s and I had 2.73s and 90 mphs was was a good shift point for him and he could always pull me and I raced him immediatly afterward and I pulled him, and It wasnt and inch or two....!
Just avoid water puddles! lol!
