Ive never used a tb spacer, i heard ups and downs about them.
The ignition stuff is all plug and play DIY
the fans are not unless you have a new tahoe/yukon. You can buy kits for these trucks but require some wiring and such..

Well where are you trying to go with your engine? Looks like your in the same boat as me, I am keeping mine pretty much stock and just keeping it in its best running shape.
My MSD Ignition consists of a MSD dizzy, and yes they do sell cap and rotors for our dizzys), MSD Ignition coil and MSD 8.5 wires. The 6AL ox is a waste unless you will be doing a heavily modified engine. Also running a Dyna-Mod Ignition module, stock one is crap depending on what model if you have.

Pump 87, you wont see ant or much of a benefit from running higher, these engines were designed to run on 87. I know some guys who have modified engines along with a tune and they do require the need of quality petro. I am also using Mobil 1 Synthetic, 5W30 along with a Mobil 1 filter and change it out every 4000K.
I Love my TB and injector spacers, installed these two together and noticed the increased throttle response right away. Both are easy installs. I would go ahead and do the "ultimate tbi mods" while you are installing these.

The fuel injectors are suppose to run around 12psi for optimum performance. But it is known the from the factory psi varied from 9-12psi, Easy way to correct this is to install a fuel pressure regulator and a gauge to monitor it I purchased a new injector assembly with injectors because mine were not looking to hot. With these new ones I have nice cone shape spray and I know the engine is getting enough fuel.
Next step after this for me, new exhaust system. Edelbrock TES headers and y pipe, Magnaflow cat and muffler. After that, electric fans and water pump and I am done.

That's cool. I bought mine used and got all new parts for it from him. Saved me over 200 bucks.. I'm going to being buying another volant and for brothers silverado for a bday present bcuz I was pretty impressed and he just has an exhaust on his truck now. It'll help him out more.
But I've been getting more involved in the motor lately. My interior will be done next year in school and the outside is already done with so that's good. I've seen those 8pins beofre, but never like thought it could give a good torque gain ya know. If I get some extra cash, ill dump one asap for that dyna..
