Bump the timing up a few degrees to like 13° or 14° just don't go too far and make it ping it's guts out, open up the exhaust up with headers and less restrictive mufflers.
There are several things that help but these are all I can think of right now.. Past my bed time!!!
Maybe some one will have more soon...

I agree. The chips, hot air intakes, and throttle body spacers are all junk.
If you want your truck to run good you can do what White97 said.
Also, just a complete tune up with good parts and fresh fluids and filters will go a long way.

It should be fine to do it to a truck with higher miles. You won't gain tons of power, but it will run better.

Its not a vacuum line though. It is an electonic connector. The computer advances the timing.
