Wouldn't surprise me at all if EVERYONE could benefit from doing that bit of cleaning.

Well now that I replaced the injectors the truck runs the same as it did before until it fully warms up...then the long term and short fuel trim goes all the way to -33.6! ...I still have the miss...I did notice what may be a cracked header in the inside of the collector area... It was smoking a lot and I could here an exhaust leak and see the smoke escaping there but I thought at first it was oil that spilled there from having the valve cover off..... I guess I need to get the fuel sync done... It also takes more cranking to start when cold like the fuel lines has to reprime...guess I have to look closely at the pressure.

I did the harlandsharp 1.7's, Fastman 52mm TB, super chips 3815, and 3" flowmaster system all at the same time... I also run royal purple fluids in everything! I've got a 14x3 round intake with K&N filter as well. I run a 192 T-stat as well. I've replaced everything on my accessory drive due to an unfortunate run in with a deer a few years back... running 3.55 gear and 265 shoes... in my fuel save mode I can get 19mpg on the highway.... as long as I stay out of the pedal at stop lights.. I can get about 14mpg city...

What are you adjusting on your rockers?
Its been proven that an E fan gives around 3 hp where the RR gives 20 to the wheels. Completely not the same bang for the buck. Plus, the RR are 300 cam and E fans are upwards of 600.

I did some research on this a couple weeks ago.
The dyno results I seen actually show a difference of up to 7hp... and not just from going electric.(one site tested like 12 fans on the same ford 5.0 setup).. different pitch and size fan bladed will have a totally different load on the engine...
the same dyno results show on average the R rockers give about 15 real world hp gains in most applications so... While they are both about as equally valuable... the fan does give more bang for the buck if you really want to get technical since they can be bought and installed for like $50 vs the cheapest 1.7 harland roller rocker kits going for about what $350? or even $250? that still makes the fan up to 2.5 times more effective hp gains for every dollar spent...
