However you do not have to ditch the stock air filter/box, just remove the air silencer within the fenderwell and pop in a K&N filter and your good to go. There is no difference between that setup and the CAI setup besides cosmetics. I prefer the stock look unless the motor is completely built. Might want to think about adding a bigger Mass Air flow sensor along with a new filter and TB, it would make for a nice increase.<br /><br />Other good mods:<br />- subframes<br />- short shifter<br />- exhaust (headers, o/r-pipe/ catback)<br />- gears (4.10 for AOD, 3.73 for t5)<br />- new springs/shocks combo<br />- rear disc brakes<br />- any chassis stiffening really.<br />- fresh spark plugs and 9mm wires (just to keep it nice and fresh) no hp gain<br />- a/c delete (if you dont need a/c)<br /><br />Good luck with the car.
