Well I did leave out the CFM throttle body blade, and yes that was another good mod for 35 bucks. The power pullies I just had some problems with. I just removed them yesterday due to an over heating issue. Since the temps have risen over 95 degrees, when I was running my air conditioning, I would begin to overheat, and then boil over. I thought at first it was the therm, maybe a bad one, so I switched out the 160 for a new Jet 180. That didn't fix it. So I just added a second fan infront of the Radiator and a Trans-Cooler. The trans cooler worked nice, but the temp was still rising when the Air was on. I got talking to a fiew friends, and they thought maybe with it was the power pullies. Causing the water pump to push the water through the radiator to fast, not allowing it to cool down fast enough. So I tried it. Removing them solved my problem. So I personally wouldn't advise it on our 2001 or 2002 models. I know they work on other trucks, but just not on mine.

The throttle blade, Yes that did make a nice improvement, but you might have to do the EGR upgrade. Unless you do what I did with the MSD. I believe the MSD and using the Jet 2 (higher octane) is helping me by not tripping my SES light due to the EGR gases.

I'd do that one last, just to make sure nothing is tripping the light.
