Will do that first. Thank you.

According to TW, I am running the trifecta of wasted money... TRD intake, Borla Exhaust (same as TRD), and 93 octane ethanol or 91 octane non-ethanol fuel. I won't claim that it's added any HP, but I also don't need a dyno to tell me that the throttle response is better, the engine response is faster, fuel economy is better (especially after 62-18), and I have a lot more confidence when navigating through traffic. I performed many different 'tests' to gauge how the truck has responded to each, especially the fuel type, and my truck runs best with the TRD intake with an AFE dry filter (instead of the TRD oiled one) and charcoal filter removed, Borla exhaust with the full tailpipe (yes I've tried it without since it's a 2 piece), and non-ethanol fuel.

I’ll definitely take it in for that TSB 62-18. Thanks.

Out of everything you listed above, the non ethanol gas is your only thing that adds a bit of power. The intake might give you a few hp, but only at wide open throttle when the engine control unit is out of the equation. Your extra octane fuel adds nothing but it does change the spark advance a bit and gives you a bit more (maybe 5) hp.
So, pure gas and high octane gives you between 5-10 hp which is good, as long as you keep using it. Everything else? Nada.
