Well it seems that just about everyone agrees that a tune and cold air intake are worth the money. On the other side of the coin, no one that voted felt that the TB spacer was worth it. If I had to guess I would say that the one that voted for the "tornado" type device was joking....but maybe not.
Either way I appreciate everyones votes, and hopefully this thread can help someone direct there money in an easier, more efficent manner.
If you haven't voted, feel free to do so, all opinions are welcome.
I have to say, I thought exhaust would have gotten a higher %, but we seem to be split in the two categories. Anythoughts on this? Suggestions?
Thanks,
Jake

Greetings Jake, Wish you would have included 92/93 gas as an option too. I haven't voted as yet - but I believe the Tornado would improve mileage on older trucks. I tried it throughly on 2 completely different timeframes on my 2004 with no positive results and a small negative result to mpg. I believe the pre-Vortex engines may be benefitters however. The concept is good - but curent Chevy/GM trucks seem to be already using the concept in their own design.

Re: modding Poll: good, bad, indifferent.... Take Two.
For the money, you cannot beat the Corvette servo installation. It's easy to do and really does firm up the shifts a little (maybe enough that some people don't want them any firmer with a tune)
