You can reduce your shifter's throw. Some instructions were posted a while back on how to do it.

Throttle Body Coolant Bypass. There is a coolant line that runs thru your TB. If you disconect it from the TB and just splice it together it will keep the extremely hot coolant from heating the intake charge. You won't see huge gains, but it will help add up.

Won't bypassing the cooling line put the TB in the situation of being damaged?

One possible exception is Chip tuning and I'm not so sure about that.

If you live in a state where you don't have to worry about freezing temps this is a great mod. I on the other hand live in Utah. We have TERRIBLE winters here, so I have decided not to do this mod myself.
