    You could bore it out or get a mustang TB (like a bbk or whatever other brands are out there) and they will be bigger than you could bore the stock one to.

    you don't want to remove the honeycombs....it'll cause more headaches than anything else. You can back out the screw on the bottom of the mas so that it sits flush with the bottom casing of the mas. The screw is hidden under a rubber or paper cover, can't remeber what it was...but it's a real simple free mod (won't net you much gains though, but I guess every little bit helps).

    I'm not sure if there is a way to tighten them but your cables should be fine it's just that dsm shifters always feel kinda rubbery. You can buy some symbroski (sp?) bushings (only place to get them now is machv.com), or do the free mod which is made of just washers that replace the rubber bushings, but symbroski it is better and only about $20. Machv also sell stiffer bushings that replace the ones where the cables attach to the tranny.
