    That shit works.


    Try several tanks of high test. One tank isn't enough to help. "Call on it" frequently during the re-learn period. My fuel economy went up a little, but not enough to justify the cost of the better gas.

    Then have a yard sale and put some 4.56 gears in it. Not cheap, but run your truck in 5th and you can tell what it will do for you. I am currently running a tank of gas in 5th just so see what my MPG would be with 4.56s.

    I take it you have 33's since you are wanting power. Or you're just normal.

    Some people have reported gains by using all synthetic lubes. This is probably just more wheel HP. What better kind is there:D

    Stickers always help, at least 10-15hp per sticker, and at least 30 if they have something to do with auto mechanics. Doing a 3.slow motor swap I heard really spices things up, and run your vehicle with no exhaust or intake.

    I'm just kidding obviously, there aren't really any cheap ways to Improve numbers greatly. If it was easy everyone would do it!

    Hanging some fake testicles off your rear bumper adds at least 20hp. 50hp if they're brass ones.

    Intake, shorty headers and a catback exhaust. Should net you a decent seat of the pants power increase.
