4" hole in the bottom of your stock airbox is free and will give minimal gains at best.
Any possible weight reduction (remove a back seat, remove spare tire, etc.) is beneficial. Every 100 pounds = about a tenth in the ¼.
Don't take your tailgate off.
Don't descreen your MAF sensor.
drive in the coldest air you can :)
but really there any better free Mods then what Yankee said...weight reduction is the best mod of all
i thought about doing that.....guess i shouldnt...what happens though?Quote:

Did you do any logging with HP Tuners to see what your A?F ratio was after you descreened it? Just because your truck is running doesn't mean everything is running as it should. If your A/F ratio is off, you could be asking for trouble.
My only "free mod" was the 3rd row delete.

Ive had it off and at a freinds getting the bottom of it painted pewter so the two tone goes all the way around the back of the truck, and also the tailgate handle and bezel, and the trim piece on top of the tailgate smoothed out and painted grey to match the upper color.
It will be back on the truck tomorrow. Ill post up some pics.
It's just been shown that you get better gas mileage and less drag with it on than with it off.
I got bored at The station and ported my throttle body. Easy to do and even if it only gave me 1hp I think it was worth the 30mins + some a few dremel tips and some 1000 grit.
No didnt but ill check it out. I got a new one with screen gonna put it on and check it out ill post up on the results. Ill even check the a/f with both and post it up.Quote:

If you do a Gen III swap into an 88-98 model. Where will/should the coolant line coming from the intake go? Can it go to a heater hose, or the radiator hose? Is there a T available?
I just drilled and tapped a 1/8 npt fitting hole in one of the heater hose locations at the water pump.

Hey Jeff did you notice anything from porting your throttle body cause im thinking of doing it once it gets a little warmer around here.
yes, I noticed some low end power. But make sure you buff the surface after you grind. Also make it as smooth and level as possible.
