the bump stop mod allows the TB blade to open as close to 90* as possible. which will allow better throttle response.

No, where is it? If it's in the appearance section, I haven't seen it because I don't venture into there much.

Sorry, not to thread jack, but after looking @ install university, and it's only a 50 cent mod, and co-incidentally a friend telling me this over the weekend....

This whole "Skip Shift Eliminator", do many of you guys have it done? 'Cause I've been lurking around here and haven't seen much mention of it, even in the "first mods to do" posts. Is it very importent, because not being able to go 1st, 2nd, 3rd would be sort of a hinderance, woudn't it? Sorry for being so dumb on this subject maybe somebody could shed some light on this or direct me to a post/other article that would expalin more about all this....

I think it allows you to go from like 1st to 4th if you want to skip 2nd and 3rd.

yeah, I get you can't go 1st to second, but I'm wondering if, like 50% of people get it done, or if pretty much everyone does that mod....

the skip shift eliminator is real easy, and I am pretty sure alot of people do it because that skip shift can get annoying. I followed the instructions on installuniversity.com and it took me a whole 20 minutes to go to radio shack, buy a resistor, drive home, put the car in the air, and put the resistor in place.

open your hood and look behind the vents and there is pice that restricts the air flow. take a drill and place it on the rivits and drill them out.

The ram air does work just at high speeds.
