those tornados do work. i have one hot glued to an electric hair dryer(my patent pending $13 supercharger). i just disconected the heating element, shoved it where my lid used to be(help down with GM zip ties). i leave it turned on and activate it with a toggle switch under my racing seat. i shattered my 12 bolt with that mod.

Just buy a couple of cans of compression, a K&N sticker, 2 NOS stickers and a fart can. That will give you at least 70hp. Oh yes and bypass the throttle body too.

As dumb as you may think this is, those electric superchargers work! I saw a video of these guys that took like an older TBI ranger to a dyno. They dynoed it, then they shoved a leaf blower onto the throttle body an it actually gained horsepower! Lol, as dumb as it sounds, you should've SEEN the dude standing on the fenders while the truck was dynoing!Haha

Get a bigger radiator for better cooling. Cooler engine means more power.

A bigger radiator means more cooling capacity, which means your fans come on less often. Really the only reason to run one, and why I run an lt1 radiator myself. Being from Fort Hood, you should definitely be able to appreciate something like that.
