MORE HORSES?

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 17-Feb-02 AT 04:55 PM (EST)]Here's my situation; I have a '93 F150 5.0L EFI. All stock. My question is: What 2 or 3 mods can I do (in my drive way) to give me more passing power on the highway and pulling power up steep grades (20' camper trailer) without sacrificing fuel efficiency. (I am used to my 12 - 14 MPG).
I already have: K&N filter, new plugs, cap, rotor, wires, O2 sensor, and advanced timing to 12 BTDC.

Read my UD Pulley and Eletric Fan install post on the Big Broncos forum. They should give you more passing power AND increase in gas mileage.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 18-Feb-02 AT 01:17 AM (EST)]Depending on the tools you have, you could also install a Flowmaster or comparable free flowing muffler. Free flow cat won't get you anything, though. There are also the mustang tricks, like phenolic spacer, and a 160 degree thermostat (or a 5000ohm resistor on the coolant temp sensor).

Incidentally, what do you hunt?

I've been told to put in an RV cam, headers w/ 3" exhaust, performance chip, stroker mod, retard the cam I've got, put a Vector on it, and MORE! Hey, I want to improve it, not replace it! Ha, Ha.
I hunt Elk, Mulie, Antelope, Bear, and wingshoot. Mostly archery but if that don't work, break out the guns.
