Fuel Processor?

My Nomad is stock except for the debaffle. Adding the TFI increased the performance in several ways. It would stumble between 1st and 2nd gear, that's gone. It would ping in hot weather with 93 octane fuel, that's gone. I now use 89 octane in hot weather and 87 in cooler months, no pinging. The fan would kick on every time I pulled up to a traffic light, now I can idle for several minutes in hot weather before the fan will kick on. Much less heat roasting the nuts in stop and go traffic. I'd say every stock Nomad should have a fuel processor installed just to take care of the excessive heat. They are set to run too lean to meet EPA standards. My dealer wanted to install a Power Commander when I complained of the pinging issue. On my dime of course. There was also a noticeable increase in performance. Felt like I gained a few horses when twisting the throttle pretty hard.
