i want more horse power

Throttle Body:enter more air That will not net you more power alone on a stock KA and probably won't fit without modifications and wiring changes for TPS

Fuel Pump:pump more gas That will not help you alone. You would need A turbo, supercharger, nitrous to need more fuel than your current fuel pump can provide

fans:it is hot in my city Is your truck overheating? If not it might be a waste. Fans require wiring changes for the temperature adjustment and a thermoastat change might also be needed. These fans don't look plug and play.

Alternator:better than old alternator(old 70-new 90) Only needed if you're suffering from low power now, such as having a stereo system with subwoofers or HID's or electric fans. can you tell me is it compatible with my car???

If you were looking to add nitrous/turbo/supercharge/ your truck, these "upgrades" would serve a better purpose. On a stock truck, none of these are needed, nor will net you noticable gains.

No, that's not all you need. This is where you'll need to read around this forum alot and search alot to find out how these things work. That way when you start installing these parts and run into an issue, you can have a better understanding of how to fix it yourself instead of asking around on the forum waitin for an answer. Not trying to be a jerk, it will help you in the long run.

Don't buy anything you plan on doing yourself unless you:
-Know how it works
-Know how to install it
-Have a means to install it

If you plan on having a shop work on your truck, then you can get advice from them since they'll be doing the work, but try to find a place on here that you know works on import vehicles.

Cost?? To supercharge, probably 2000-3000 after it's all said and done
