In MY HUMBLE OPINION and in no particuliar order..........



1. Removing the Pulsation Damper and replacing it with a banjo bolt



2. Removing the Power Steering Pump and looping the lines to run the rack as a manual rack



3. 20 HP Chips from Ebay



4. Cantilevering Transmission mounts when doing an Auto to MAnual conversion



5.Electric Fans in place of the stock shroud and clutch fan



6. Torching springs to lower them



7. Lazy Eye Headlights

#5 is a good mod if done correctly, most ppl half-*** it.



I would add the TB mod, unless you desperatly need 1-2 hp, it's a complete waste of time.

Running fine and without issues, if I ever encounter a problem, I will agree with you on the meantime, I don't tend to jump on the "I said so vanwagon"
