Default At Home Upgrades??

Is there any other upgrades u can really do at home with out spending to much money on these motors?? I modified the air box, then i cut out the muffler, pcv reroute, and resinator delete. Is there anything else?? I love the truck and everything, its just my old mechanical ford was sweet, cause u could do timing, injection pump, and simple things like that. Im saving some cash right now to probably get the EFI live or the PPE unit.

If you cut the muffler, Have you also trashed the cat?

Losing the cat will make it a bit louder the muffler in the biggest restriction.
