free power??

If your like me, and are on a VERY tight buget but still have the need for speed, iam sure you'd love some free HP. i still got a front end to fix
And since my throttle idea was a bust, i've been thinking about other free, or VERY cheap mods to get more power. Any ideas?

Cheapest mods that actually give you some power are:
1. Free-flowing Cold-Air Intake
2. Free-flowing exhaust
3. Performance chip/PCM re-flash
4. Complete tune-up

Platinum is old news guys. It lasts awhile but isn't a very good conductor. Iridium is the latest "hot-ticket". It'll outlast AND out-perform platinum by far. The only manufacturer I know that makes them is Denso. Check it out here:

Denso Iridium seems to be the trend, but I have a friend who mines hardrock, and he says platinum is HARDER than Iridium. For a car application, I'll take Bosche.

The point is NOT how HARD it is. The point is that it will last as long as the platinum in this application AND out-perform it in the ignition system because it's a better conductor than platinum.

Actually he thought that platinum would be a better conductor, I don't just buy a product because of the advertisements for it, I buy it from my personal experience, but yea, I would try the Denso's, but I will wait until they are proven a little more in history.
