I third that.

Its free, but no power is gained. Advance your timeing to 18 or remove your powersteering for free power.

It's all about power-to-weight ratio: remove the spare and jack and buy puncture seal.

Tightening the cable removes the play for better throttle response.

Adjust the two nuts on the throttle linkage. If you look at it it's obvious. Be careful not to make it too tight, it will effect your idle if you do.

My first mod was a AEM cold air intake. There are many other choices such as the Comptech Icebox and the Injen coil air intake. After that you can get a header and exhaust.

If you want a free mod take off the power steering belt, good for 2 hp.

Yeah just take the belt off so you still push the fluid through the pump and the wheel is hard as hell to turn. If you wanna remove your power steering do it right and remove everything.

aem cai 9hp
do you have the dyno? I was thinking more around the lines of ~3-5 whp for a CAI. I have the injen CAI and I can barely feel the difference, and trust me it's no 9whp.

CW-ITR-329, I would take off the power steering if I were you. I just did it a couple of days ago and you get a better feel for the road along w/increased power(also it's free). The best mods that I have done so far are 1st- toda flywheel/clutch JDM final drive, 2nd- JDM Mugen 4-1 header, 3rd- PS removal, and last Injen CAI
