Those two mods were supposed to be about a 1mpg bump over the '04 model. Note that the fans aren't quite plug-n-play. You need a tuner to modify your CPU to switch the fans on and off and a wiring harness (I had planned to use Black Bear Performance :: Custom Tuning Solutions for 96 and newer GM Vehicles).

That 4.8L is a great motor, I've got one in my wife's 2wd Tahoe that we can get 25mpg hwy with, and I had one in my old Silverado. You may get some ideas from the thread in my signature for the Silverado.
I read through the post in your signature and I was just wondering how much improvements did the behind the grill block give you vs the in front grill block?
