...............Oh! I forgot to add I just added light weight battery and Iridium 16 spark plugs. I did not use the magnecor wires because they are too stiff and kept popping off from the head of the plug and causing Cylinder misfiring I still have them if anyone wants them pm me.

James, I know you run race fuel all of the time so detonation might be minimized but it's ultimately your decision on whether you want to take that risk.

I was going to test it with the hood open on the dyno just pointing straight up. Not terribly useful for daily-driving, but it should pretty effectively show what the stock airbox leaves on the table.

20+ to list......
Light weight battery is good, but on mine, I'm looking for a more balanced weight distribution, so every ounce in the back helps, unless the battery is located in the engine bay, that's another story.
