Nice results! I'd like to install a set when I put efans in.

Are pullies your only mod?

No, i originally had a 4.6 in the truck, so i think that counts for a mod. I put an efan on off of a taurus with a thermostatic controller on the low speed side. have never needed the high speed side. i have added my own cold aor intake but it may be getting a little warm air so i need to make up a box for it. msd coils and wires ,comp cams 102500 cams

Oh, yeah, I forgot to add this: If I read on here that someone claimed a 2.2mpg increase from a set of pullies, i would call BULL! BUT, it was my truck and I know the figures. i have no reason to lie about it or exaggerate it. i wish every other mod would do the same but that aint gonna happen.
