Get some gears to make up for the tires - if you haven't already. Then get a programmer so you can adjust your tire size making your speedo correct, while giving you a bump in power and making your trans shift much better.

+1 on gear that will be the best bang for the buck on performance.

I'd pick the edge over hypertech but if it was my choice I'd buy a SCT Xcal 2 or 3 with custom tunes after I changed the gears. Those tall tires are killing your power.Also don't expect a huge power increase from a programmer on a gas motor.

Although it is more expensive.. you would notice a VERY BIG difference if you got gears. While a tuner would give you gains.. it would be small, esp. with those big tires.
You would be better off to save up for gears, than to spend $300+ for something you might not be happy with.

E-fans are nice but won't deliver a performance increases with the package you want. You mention you want a lot more preformance, for that you will need to dig deep. Gears will be the cheapest but they still have a price on the highway.

I didnt say that e fans would deliver performance but the belt driven fan in my truck steals alot of performance outa my truck when it kicks on. I agree with the 4:56 gears that will be my next mod.
