You should try running dual throttle spacers. I've never heard of anyone trying that. It might make your truck more awesomer.

Dont listen to all these guys.. They have no good information to give about this cause none of them have done this mod. I put one on my truck and WOW!! I got a very good throttle response along with about 8HP and 2mpg.. Best mod I have ever done to my rig.......

When I did my bedliner on the rockers I got almost 1 extra MPG cause it slipped through the wind much better...

On the stripe. Will it effect horspower if it is offset to one side instead of centered? I have a lot of stickers to throw on my ride and I want to make sure they are in the correct area to maximize my HP gain

The stripe gives you more if you have it to one side..the driver side (to compensate for engine rotation...)!

Good useful info., but what I want to know is, is it necessary to wax both sides of the fan for more power, or just the front side?
