And you have still failed to tell me why staying stock on those components yields better/just as good fuel econ. I agree that the e-pump is more of a racing mod and tbh I'm leaning toward it the least our of all the other mods I mentioned. However, eliminating the parasitic drag of that pulley and enabling a smaller/lighter belt has to have some benefit, so the objection must be that the improvement is not worth the expense, or that it will take such an absurdly long amount of time to pay for itself that it isn't really worth considering

Again, can you tell me why the stock temp thermostat is preferable for fuel econ?
