Those are the only ones worth doing in my opinion.The others are IAT relocation and ported MAF.

Boss,check out www.projecttransam.com I think they have all that,Maybe not the Intake air temp relocation which you just plug the hole where it is and move it farter upsteam tricking the PCM into thinking it is colder.that gives you a richer air fuel mix.

I have a question about the IAT relocation mod. The stock PCM program is designed to run a little rich at WOT, by relocating the IAT sensor you make it run even richer. Does anyone have actual dyno or track results proving that this even works, or is just a psychological mod?

I believe it will advance the timing a degree or two also. I read on some post here of actual dyno #'s. It wasn't much maybe a few HP. I read also it helps idle when the engine is hot, since underhood temps get around 150 degrees where it's located in stock form. You can move it closer to the filter, or drill a hole in the bottom of your K&N and put it in there (where I did) and it reads a more correct incoming air temp.
