Asking the same question twice in 2 different places won't net you a faster answer, just flack from the staff.

And why in the blue harron hell would you want to do that? What possible gains do you feel you could achieve from lying to your computer, and trying to get around a system that was obviously R&D'd, and heavily analyzed before it was determined the correct calibration for the vehicle from the engineers who built the truck?

Don't mess with the Iat. I'd say adjustable map sensor and neon injectors. You can make your own adj. Map. Google it. Bigger t-body also. Search the vendors on here for an affordable one

X2 on the injectors.
If you want more power, you need to gain a higher airflow, so the bigger tb is a good thing. I recall to have read here, that they make em 72 mm.

Head and intake are a little different. The cam was revised (more for emissions then anything else) and a different engine management system.
