wait, you removed an aero piece, so you are making your car less stable.. venting the hood is totally useless on a stock engine, if anything, it will make the engine even less efficient..
First, put your spoiler back on, and seal the hood back up.
you can advance your timing at the distributor, just make sure you run the lowest octane, so you get the hottest burn.. heat makes powa.
take out your thermostat, so you dont have to worry about your engine overheating.
take your knock sensor, and re-locate it to the throttle cable with a zip-tie, that way your engine will run perfectly without any false knock sensor readings from the engine.
a REALLY common mod is to remove the rear brake calipers, lines, rotors, hard piping, and just seal up the master cylinders rear port with a plug, costs like 87 cents from the parts store. Hell i have an extra plug ill send you for the cost of a stamp! this will free up about 100 lbs.. and then remove the front passenger brake caliper and rotor and all associated piping, its another 55 lbs.. you want to make sure that you keep the stock drivers side brake so you can still slow down! We all know 240 stock brakes are so freaking large its ridiculous.
last free or ez thing i can think of, get your sawzall, and remove the roof, rear fenders, trunk, front end, rear end, side pillars, doors, all interor and misc electronics... the more weight you shave the better..
