theres other little things you can do for cheap power, and since i love to piss with stuff and i am a supa dupa cheapskate ive found several little things.
1.remove screen between air filter and MAF sensor, be sure you put somthing in place of the rubber gasket that was around the outer edge of the screen so it is still air tight when assembeled
2.you can modify your MAF sensor so that you get more flow and trick your 'puter once again, you figure this one out im not having anyone wanting me dead cuz they destroyed their MAF...:^)
3.there is yet another idea i had long ago and i scrapped it cuz i thought it wasnt feasible, and lo and behold someone patents it and is making lots of money. lol (dont i feel stupid.) but if you go to spiralmax.com you will see this thing. you can make one for nothing out of a old cambells soupcan with some tinsnips and some patience i made a nice one in about 30 min. it works too, when you make it, size it to fit after the MAF sensor-make it fit perfectly in the rear housing of the MAF but be careful to secure it to your MAF so your intake dont suck it out. 4.if you are not in CA, you can unbolt your cat converter section of your x-aust system and use a thin steel rod to beat the cats out, just be sure to get it all out or it will clog your mufflers when you reinstall them, do not damage your o2 sensors!
5.for an awsome sounding exaust for minimum investment, i spent $50 on mine (really!) just put on some glasspacks in place of the stock mufflers, all you gotta do is get the correct hardware for the install. me and my buddy had mine installed in 2hrs and you keep your stock exaust tips, and you can keep your exaust the same as it was (put together with flanges) just cut the flanges off the old mufflers and bolt them to the glasspacks
(its not that hard to do)and rest assured you will not sound like every other stang out there with flowmasters on :^)
let me know if you guys come up with anything else- good luck and Death to Ricers!
