Free mods for LT1?
Hey everyone...
I was wondering what sort of 'free' mods I could do to my LT1 other than removing the MAF sensor? I am in high school and I don't have much money at all to add many more expensive mods to my car, so I am looking for things that I can add for basically nothing. If not free, how about some mods that are inexpensive?
Thanks everyone
Allen

what kind of car do you have...that may help us give you some ideas.
free:
tb bypass
removed maf screen
gutted cat
relocate the iat sensor closer to air box
cut face of airbox off and install K&N (or similar) filter
put scoop on splash guard infront of tire to direct cool air towards air filter
remove weight (spare, jack, stereo, back seats, rugs)
inexpensive:
air foil $40
homemade cold air ~$75 with k&n cone filter
use after market CAI for ~$100-150
cutout $35 for cutout, $25-40 to weld it in
poly bushings for lower control arms and panhard bar, and weld them up to box them in if you have access to some scrape metal and a place to do the welding ~$50 depending on welding
pulleys $75-100 (cheaper if used)
short stick shifter handle if it's a manual $55 (link in the sig)
160* thermostat to run cooler $20
new plugs and wires $75 (www.thunderracing.com you can get taylor spiro-pro 8mm wires and set of NGK tr55 plugs shipped)
if it's 94/95 a basic computer reprogram from www.pcmforless or madwolf (on the board) to lower fan temps, increase spark, change shift points/firmness...etc...$100
