What he said. For the most part there is no free lunch. Weight reduction helps, but how far are you willing to take it?
Cant ice the intake, not to any avail anyhow. Back in the day, it worked great on a 5.0 Stang that had a huge Alum intake, but ours are plastic, and displace heat very well. Unless you are going to do long tubes, X-pipe, and 2 good mufflers, save your cash and time gutting your cats, and on catbacks.DONT descrean your MAF. This is an especially bad idea since most of our trucks are autos, they dont take kindly to that.
Save your time and $$,save up to get a 3000 stall and skip the BS.

none of this free mod stuff is really going to help you..the thing that may add the most is the throttle body bybass..but yet still you might gain 1.2 more hp just by that..
and heres the throttle body bypass..they claim 6 more hp but hell you can do alot of dyno and let it cool for 30 mins and dyno again and maybe gain 6 more hp.
