More Power Without losing Mileage?????

Hey guys, I think I've hit a wall as far as power goes.
I want a little more grunt, but I want to keep or improve my 20 MPG efficiency.

Here's where I'm at:

1989 22re 180,000miles 5spd
K&N Gen II
Thorley tri-y header
Free Flow Cat
Flowmaster 40
2.25" Piping


My truck is getting a new lift, and in the process they are changing my fuel filter, hopefully that helps.

My ideas to add power without efficiency loss are:

1. Hotter Coil

2. Ignition system

3. Hotter plugs

4. Electric fan



Any thoughts on these mods?

Any other ideas?

Thanks -MR.T

From what I have read, the fan will help out a lot. I would do the electric fan conversion, but they are so damn expensive.

I would have to disagree, Do a search on the subject and you will find how to do the conversion.
Even with a new fan you should be able to do this for under a couple hundred bucks.
