I've got to do some improvements to my truck, both in aero terms, but only light modifications there, and also in terms of things that load the engine.

I may have a manual steering box sourced for it, which will eliminate the PS pump, I may have an electric fan w/ a thermo control sourced as well, which eliminates the fan from engine drag, and allows a faster warm up time. I'm going to be leaving the AC installed, though, on this one. It works perfectly, and there have been days where I could use it, especially if I have to head any distance south or into a city for any length of time during the hotter days.

Those things should help out a bit, especially when I have to accelerate.
