Only one thats worth any time is the tb bypass. not free but costs like a dollar. As for the cai, just stay awat from the cheapo home made ones on ebay. lingenfelter is good, k&n, moroso, slp depending on what type of look you want as they are al pretty equal performance wise.

moroso is good. you can port the tb but its usless unless you putting out 600 hp. the tb bypass involves disconnecting the coolant hoses from the tb and connecting them to 'bypass' the tb. Supposed to lower intake air temps since the hot coolant heats up the tb. i think throttle response improved a bit when i did it.

yes, TB airfoils are great. Try eBay, you can get one for a much better deal.

I would also buy a 160 t-stat and add a manual fan switch. That helped my car out.

if you can get an airfoil for like 10 -15 bucks go for it. if you pay any more youre just wasting money.

vacum caps

You can get the caps at autozone they have rubber and another type. I got the "other type" thought they might last longer than the rubber and they are different colors, all though no one will see them anyway
