Free ram air, Port your own TB. Only ones that actually have dyno gains.
And really the Free ram airs not a good one either. Unless you do what I did and make a fast toys ram air kit out of sheet metal and run two hoses to the holes in the front of your grill...I seen some SOTP gains from it too...

FRA, throttle body coolant by-pass, fernco mod, drill mod, port throttle body, grind bump stop on throttle body to achieve true WOT, that's all I can think of right now.

EGR Free Mod, Free Ram Air Modification, Throttle Body Bump Stop Mod, Throttle Body Bypass, IAT Timing Tricker I di all of these at first. They helped but the one that gave me the most power besides the cam I would say was the headers get either mid length or long tube with the y pipe and then add a cut out massive power gains from stock. Dont bother spending your money on shorties its a waste of money and time.

You can get the bypass and the IAT timing tricker on Ebay cheap maybe around 20 bucks for both.

There was a list of many more 'free mods' that was posted here several times back in 01-02ish, but people aren't doing most of them anymore.

Yeah after looking at some they arent really worth messing with lol. Porting the TB and MAF you might notice, the others seem like more of a hassle than worth effin with.

You grind down the throttle cam stop on the throttle body, to allow the throttle blade to open a full 90 degrees. From the factory they don't quite open all the way.

thats whats good about the 98-99s they have a small cam already, faster opening....and for the other guy dont do the free ram air thing, just more crap in ur engine bay and a clogged filter more often...the fernco mod is prolly the best besides the porting tb, 6 bucks for a bellow, slp is chargin like 50 for.
