Finally broke down and ordered the K&N FIPK for $255 from Truck Performance. (Also ordered some MSD super conducter wires).
I've been a good boy and have worked hard for several weeks and I DESERVE a reward.
Of course I had to convince the wife that these mods with greatly improve performance, I mean mileage per gallon.
I'm hopeful that these improvements will noticably improve performance. I have a "drop in" K&N filter which will be for sale soon...
2001 QC, 5.9, Auto, 3.55(shucks), Gibson 3" catback, Gibson SS headers, 180 Thermo, ASP Underdrive Crank Pulley, Jet Chip, Holley TB, Bosch 4s.
Love it!!

You mentioned you have a jet chip. What stage is it and did it make a noticable increase in power?

I have a Jet Stage II for my 98 5.2 that I bought from someone on this site for $50. It really works well for me.

I have both a Stage 1 and Stage 2.
Both of them help performance alot.
I got the stage 1 chip when I first started adding modifications. Then, in an attmept to satisfy my hunger for power, I got the Stage 2. I was hoping that it would make a remarkable difference over the stage 1.
My problem has been that I have added several modifications during the times I was using both Chips, so I really haven't been able to compare "apples and apples".
This week I am going to install the K&N kit, MSD wires and new brass cap and rotor (I need part numbers for the cap & rotor if anyone has them handy), so it will be a while before I get used to the new power level. I am now using the Stage 1.
My intial feeling is that I like the Stage 1 chip better. It has good power and runs better on regular fuel than super. I have read a lot of posts claiming that other Chips/Mods are better. I haven't used any others, but I have been pleased with the Jet Chip.

Bill, just order the cap and rotor from this site's link to Speedtweaks and you won't have to worry about the part number anyway.
I put the Magnecore wires on my 5.2 and they along with the cap and rotor work great together.
I think I am going to put a better coil on soon, just have to decide between an accel or msd.
Good luck,
Rascal
