gas mileage

on a more serious note, if you stay off the gas, your average will stay decent, but I've found that as soon as you pull it over 3000 rpms, you're just dumping gas in that thing and your mileage goes to shit. U/D pulleys will help you the most with mileage. you'll probably gain 2-4 mpg.

I heard 9psi KB's add mpg

I heard if you want to WATCH your gas gauge move from full to empty, get a 9 psi KB kit.

I noticed that if I don't get on it I do save gas, but my problem is everyone who wants to drive 10-15 below the speed limit wants to be in front of me.

you just like the feel of a v8

I really do, but I'm fine with driving the speed limit or up to 5 over. I do have a problem with the guy I was behind doing 22 in a 50. Or the person doing 30 in a 45...dunno what I did, but I did it just right, and I barely chirped my tires goin into 3rd...I have no clue how I did that.

GT's can do that stock man.

even with an auto.

TQ is your friend now.

I've done that once before too... i think that some asphalts/road surfaces are less sticky than others.

Cricket · May 21st, 2007, 09:39 PM

wow...I'm likin this.

HMUSN · May 21st, 2007, 09:52 PM

Cricket · May 21st, 2007, 10:00 PM

thats a hell of a jump on a stock GT man.

and lots of cash too.

Cricket · May 21st, 2007, 10:31 PM

well if I do turbo it...it will be a while, but that means I won't get any long tube headers.
