Basically, porting your throttle body/MAF sensor, throttle body coolant bypass, cutting your ram air box, etc.

Installuniversity.com
myls1.com
bowlingss.com

Those sites should have all of them listed.

But judging by the mods in sig, I wouldn't worry about it, as you're already head/cam etc.

mods that dont cost anything, or very little such as parts you can find at a hardware store. such as...

FRA- Free Ram Air Mod. this is cutting out the bottom of the lower air box to allow more air into the box
TB bypass- throttle body bypass. routing the coolant lines below the throttle body insted of thru it.
!EGR- removing the EGR equipment to keep inert gases out of the combustion chambers
!AIR- removing the Air Injection Recirculation. commonly removed when cats are removed becuase the only thing the AIR system does is heat the cats faster.

the list goes on.
