    I'm on 35" tires but yeah I'll definitely try this, I never thought of seafoam in a brake booster, also I'm 100% doing the plugs after the plenum I read online about people cleaning there catalytic converters? how do I know if mine needs to be cleaned? Is it worth it?

    How to get the most out of my engine?

    I was never hoping for high when i bought this beast :roflsquared: I just didn't want to hear about a lower mpg level, but after my plenum I'm doing spark plugs and the O2 sensors I guess that'll even out the gears? ChillyPhil got back to me he's preparing to answer my crazy questions lol. :crazy:

    best things to do to refresh the old girl

    Well i mean you have a K&N CAI, obviously you don't hate them, they do enough, aslong as you have an exhaust and tune up, you get more air in therefore you need to shoot more air out, fix your ratio and exhaust and you get some nice HP.

    '04 Leaking power steering and Radiator fluid

    Try draining the fluids and looking for cracks in any of your hoses especially those that run over the fan, silicon could work if there is a small enough crack otherwise I'd say spend the 160 on a new radiator
