1 - Nippondenso Iridium IX spark plugs
2 - K&N Air filter (debatable benefits, but an open cone style air filters have been shown to provide real HP gains)
I have also considered a chip, but that requires removing the computer and shipping it to the installer.
I also have considered ripping out the engine fan and clutch and putting in an electric fan.
If noise doesn't bother you, consider a high flow muffler, like Magnaflow, they make a stainless steel muffler that has dual inputs with a single output, even could use a double in/double out if you want dual outlets.
I am also looking at replacing my factory wheels (about 27 lbs each?) and Goodyear Fortera tires (36 lbs) with lighter weight wheels and tires.
