Well thanks for all the advice guys! So it seems like I'm probably just going to stay away from any 'performance' mods for my car. It seems like any economical benefit would be minimal to say the least. I am looking to eventually replace my power steering with a manual rack, and possibly put an under-drive pulley on the car, but that seems like that would be the extent of anything beneficial. I'm also going to give a shot at 'choking' my intake a little bit with some duct tape, and see how she does.
