Wow. you got me..
hehe. by electrical fans. i did mean a single 16 inch fan because i also
have a single 16" fan... how does electrical fan sound?

i would suggest porting you TB, but i don't think it'll help gas mileage.
the "ribbed" structure on our TBs probably help with fuel economy,. porting
it only gave me better throttle response. (it's expensive for horsepower..)

a fuel treatment?
i really don't have a specific brand. they all claim to out do the other and
i really haven't seen a dramatic difference between using "castrol synthetic
gas treatment" compared to that 97 cent "stp" one. don't use too much tho,.
i heard it eats seals? i'm not sure, but 1 can every 5 gas fill ups is my
norm..

                 or Some type of modified intake
