What kind of free/cheap mods are there for a 7.3

What kind of cheap mods can be done to an early 99 super duty that cost little to nothing? Also what are the downsides to these mods if any and if they are reliable and proven. What kinds of results could be expected?
Thanks

zoodad mod, ccv mod, diy intake, straight pipe stock exhaust, 10k mod, 18k mod, diy map fooler.

I would explain every single one that I know how to do. But that would end up of me writing a big long book. So ask which ones you want to know about and I will answer your questions to the best of my knowledge. I will tell you right now I have not done the 10K mod or the 18K mod.

BC, is it possible to do some sort of zoodad mod on an early '99? I just put a DIY intake on my buddy's truck and the air intake comes thru the fender well cut out. If there was a way to get more fresh air in there, I'd love to hear it.

Do the same thing as us other people do. Make the hole bigger. Or route a piece of tubing from the front grill area like on the later models. Where the air intake tube comes from the grill area in front of the battery.

You can also do the IDM mod for nearly no money.
