aftermarket coils dont add any power, they are like throttle body spacers, they might add 1/10 of a hp

efans if you dont have them or underdrive pulleys are some simple things you could do that you didnt have listed

also a custom tune, send your edge to power hungry performance

So electric fans never though they would help much I forgot about the underdrive pulleys and I did have a throttle body spacer took it off because the bbk throttle body wouldn't open up ha ha I was also thinking about taking the plenum off and opening it up

Theoretical is a whole different ball game. I have given up on my truck. I decided it was just time to move on.. I'll be around but not nearly as much. I have moved over to the dark side..
