I agree with Phil. I have the same truck only mine is a 92. Accept the 4.9 for what it is, a tractor motor. These trucks were made to pull, push ,pull and pull and they do a fine job of it in stock form. I don't think you'll get your money's worth if you start throwing parts on it to try to make it faster. what exactly did you mean by "do any good?"
I did have one on a 2000 chevy and it did help a little with mpg but it made an annoying whistling sound all the time so to me it wasn't worth it. I couldn't feel any power gain. I took it off.
