EFI tricks

1.EGR Restrictor plate first thing, IF your truck is a manual that is.
2.High flow Cat was next, Along with a Flowmaster Muffler (For me).
3.An MSD 6A ignition control with a MSD Blaster TFI High output coil, A good set of wires and widen the Plug gap an extra .010 (This helped my truck quite a bit)
4.Synthetic oils in the tranny and rear end helped a lot......
5.A throttle body from a 5.0 will help (Haven't done that yet) ((Coming soon))
6.Port and polish Head/Intake (Haven't done that yet)((Coming soon))
7.Replace 14LB injectors with 19LB ones (Requires adjustable fuel pressure regulator)(Haven't done that yet)((Coming soon))
8.High performance chip Diablo or Superchips are excellent choices (Haven't done that yet)((Coming soon))


I hope this helps...

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 24-Dec-02 AT 10:10 PM (EST)]Go to http://www.performanceunlimited.com/projects.html and read "Project M.P.G.". It answers all your questions with dyno tests after each mod to quantitatively analyze the performance changes.
