Cool Mom Dude.
There's a post around (do a search ) where you can take the bottom of your air box off, and simply drill two holes in the upperbox with 2 long Plastic Ties to hold the filter in. You'll gain noticable Boost on your Guage and probaly 10 to 15 HP.
Then there is the Boost By-Pass which is needed for your year, thats a Simple .50 cent Vacum Tee. You'll get to use the extra Boost.
After that you can add up to a 2 Lb Pulley (find one used cheap) without having to worry about a new Chip/Program or changing your plugs out ""YET""
You'll end up with a real nice quick truck for under $100.00

Everyone thinks thats a cool mom but I think it is kind of irresponsible. When you are 16 and learning to drive and you aren't the most mature. Having a vehicle with this type of power is just unsafe. I'm sorry to say but unless you've been driving for a while you shouldn't be driving something that don't have the experience to control.
Just my $0.02.
Good luck and be careful,
Pete

I broke an axle on my Firehawk avoiding a suicidal drunk and mine went up to $1400.00 for six months after the insurance company fixed it. I sold it right away and drove an S-10 for a year. I had a speeding ticket on my license that went away then; so, I got another F-body. There was no way I was going to spend over $200.00 a month for Insurance. $400.00 just blows my mind.
