I have a 07 4.8L 4400lb weight and get 450km to a 21 can gal tank.Bosch plat +4plugs ,k&n air filter,0 ohm plug wires and same tires.Have you considered a easier breathing air intake tube,I was going to make one from a 4" plastic drain pipe and fittings for about $20 . A tonneu cover or cap might be less wind drag if you dont have them.

country 09, have you used the seafoam stuff? i looked it up and i think i may try it out on my truck and our jeeps.
i wouldnt make an air intake out of just any plastic, especially if its going to attach to my throttle body. plastics that are used commercially for intakes are going to be a harder more heat resistant plastic. i am about to build my own out of aluminum tubing for this reason. of course i dont know what kind of drainage pipe your using and all so i could be off. but just in general most household plastics are not going to be what you would want under the hood.

power booster aka vacuum line is right next to the brake fluid resevior...a line that runs from the back of the intake to a big black circular deal...not hard to find. its right by the firewall on the drivers side
