Default Need more power help!!!

Well I have the whole week off because of spring brake. I need to find somethings to do to the GP before I take it to the track in 2 weeks. I want some cheap things to do that will help the performance of the car. I was thinking of TB port and polish and I was thinking of making a new CAI with PVC. Will glass packs give me any gain? I was thinking about those too but mostly for the sound. Any other ideas

glass packs will sound like a bumble bee after taco bell only very loud and bad (and I doubt you will gain much by just doing the muffler)

Fast, cheap, and reliable. You can only choose two.

In general, performance and cheap don't go together. Gotta pay to play. You usually want to open up the exhaust, then your intake. Ported throttle body would come next.

Ya I think I will do one of those PVC cai but I don't know where to run it. I can't do a FWI because of the battery. Where else can I run it and how?

I dont remember where, but I saw an intake on a '96 gp that ran from the TB to where the Highbeam sat on that side, except the highbeam was removed allowing air to pass through it. you might be able to do something like that...IDK though
