based on your signature, for 200.00 more, maybe the little chrome caps for your valve stems, okay, low shot, tranny cooler?

What it says, but are you hauling, does your pillar gauge include tranny temp? Because it may just be a waste if your not hauling. How about dual oil filter, it doesnt do anything for speed, but will help protect the motor, last I priced 1 it was 180.oo including the filters ( amsoil brand)

My truck doesn't say a word to me, even when I talk dirty to it

You Know, if you have the time to do it, maybe the cackle cure, you can probably buy the parts your self for under 100.00, or order the kit I think of about 150.00. I havent done it, some say better gas milage, not alot, better throttle response, longer injector life, and sadly, a quiter motor. As far as the tranny cooler, if your temps dont exceed 200-220, I dont think I would go there....

Do a thread search for great details on it, but, your fuel rail puts gas to opisite side of the head, if i remember corectly, front part drivers side, back side, passenger side. This in theroy cause some of the injectors to be starved of fuel. The "CC " Cackle Cure puts a 1/4" SS tube accross the motor, in hope of equalizing the presure. Some of the real Guru's here actuall tie in a presure bleed off into this sytem.
The best way I Can describe how this works is an air presure system, if you have one line feeding 4 grinders, the last grinder starves, but, if you put a loop into the system, it helps balance the presure for all four, giving supply from both sides.

Someone help here if I blew the description.

Fuel Pump? To increase presure? By the way, how was silver lake, did you make it?
