any free mods?

hello all,
i purchased an 02 c32 about 2 months ago and am going to be making my first trip to the track in 2 weeks. i searched for free mods in this part of the forum but didn't come up with much. i know to lower the tire pressure and not run a spare tire. What i want to know is there anything like a free boost mod? I have a twin turbo car and this was one of the first things i did. i am also about to order the sl55 intake setup. anything else i should be looking into. i live in florida so i know i should be looking for things to keep the iat's down. any phenolic spacers offered for this car? I will also be doing the service B on the car in the next week. i read that everyone uses the ngk iridiums but has anyone tried the coppers. its all i would ever run on any turbo car but again, its not a turbo car. and probably stock wires. so sorry about all the questions but ill keep searching and if anyone has any input please post. thanks everyone.

no free boost mods that I know of, but plenty of stuff out there to do. Talk to the folks at LET Motorsports to get the performance, and keep the iat's down. They also offer phenelic spacers that work well.

First get an upgraded johnson pump, and put in the heat exchanger. Then go for the pully and tune.

As far as the wires I have been running the NGK plugs with LET wires and things are great.

If you have any questions feel free to ask. Congrats on the purchase and your in good company.

Congrats on the car. But the way the heat has been down here lately I would not expect impressive numbers. As hard as it may be you may want to wait 'till Nov/Dec.
