    Well cleaning out your plenum will give it a bit more go cause usually they are filthy as, all you need is some carby cleaner and elbow grease

    I hear a mafless tune is the way to go. I wouldn't mind one myself but can't afford it, but it is much less than $5000. Around a grand I think, I'm not too cluey on these things.

    Best thing is to ditch the xforce. They are ****. Pacemaker or difillipo are good brands. 5k will get an exhaust mafless OTR and diff gears.
