RE: Mods
Yes - hopefully a lot of boost.
I have 390 miles to go before I can see what the 4.56s will do. After that I am running out of mods. Looking at the 206 cams and a torque converter. However, I think I will take her to the track for the first time to see what she can do after the gears break in.

Hey All!
I went ahead and swiss cheesed my airbox with a 3 inch holesaw. Two holes on the bottom, one on the engine side and on in the back (towards the cab). I currently have the K&N drop in filter...
EXCELLENT RESULTS!! Faster off the line, sounds better (NOT LOUDER but a lil nastier especially above 3500 RPM), but it really shines when I put it to the floor while going 40-60 mph! The surge of power is incredible - it hits HARD with zero lag and when you feel it you will be very happy - it is definitely stronger than without the mod. If you have a heavy foot you'll have problems keeping traction - so modulate on takeoff - a lighter touch will provide plenty of power!!
My MPG also INCREASED by about 1. I have driven over 2500 miles in both rain and snow since the mod and have had no problems to report - just had a service done and everything is great!!!
I just thought there might be people out there who were "skeptical" to say the least but I was quite impressed even without dyno numbers to back it up - you will feel the difference!
