06GTMustang89 · October 18th, 2007, 03:19 PM

Ok so ive had the stang for a month now and ive already done the billet grill upper and lower, K&N CAI, Flowmaster Axle Backs, and the Pypes O/R H Pipe.

Eibach Pro Kit Springs
XCal2 tune by brenspeed
lower chromoly control arms

anything else you guys can think of??

NMR-2vGT · October 18th, 2007, 03:33 PM

Get some 4.10 gears.

06GTMustang89 · October 18th, 2007, 04:26 PM

its a daily driver?? will 4.10's jack up my mpg haha

06RedfireGT · October 18th, 2007, 06:35 PM

No they won't. Regency has 4.10s and gets 30mpg on the highway.

06saleen3v · October 18th, 2007, 07:13 PM

Well sitting with an aftermarket CAI and no tune is not too smart in the first place. Gears are a great mod but you need to get rid of your K&N and get a CAI/tuner combo first

07BossGT · October 18th, 2007, 07:15 PM

Regency's a damn liar. NO WAY 30MPG!!! Maybe 25... AT BEST... Expect 20-22 with 4.10's, takin' it easy.

Luis_GT · October 18th, 2007, 07:25 PM

with 4.10's you will lose MPG on the highway and gain MPG in the city

leebunnyz · October 18th, 2007, 07:35 PM

steeda UDP's or Charge motion delete plates, they are pretty cheap.

Yea and will maybe add 15rwhp together...get tuned! Tuning is what you will feel the biggest difference with at this point. Then get gears after that

07BossGT · October 18th, 2007, 07:45 PM

Thanks, Saleen. Although your CMPG may go up, so does the "fun factor" therefore decreasing your overall mpg.

psycho bob · October 18th, 2007, 07:47 PM

+1 on getting a tune and a better cai. jlt or c&l are the way to go. the jlt is a bit cheaper though.

hey luis since when does anyone go 55mph on the highway. wow i can't go that slow.

leebunnyz · October 18th, 2007, 07:54 PM

i get about 26 mpg on the highway doing 75...i am definately not doin 55 thats 10 miles under the speed limit.

psycho bob · October 18th, 2007, 08:03 PM

yeah the best i've gotten going 75-80 was around 26mpg. that's as long as it isn't raining

why is it a bad idea to have a CAI with no tune?? From what ive searched on here the air/fuel ratio is still ok with just a CAI. or am i wrong??

leebunnyz · October 18th, 2007, 08:19 PM

no so much your CAI, but i know if you dont tune a JLT or a C&L the car will run shitty and jump into fail safe mode

06GTMustang89 · October 18th, 2007, 08:22 PM

yeah i haven't had any problems soo far ive had it on for about 3 weeks deffinetly a huge improvement over stock thats for sure but how many more horses are we talkin if i switch to a JLT if you compare just the K&N to the JLT with no tune??
