Problem is- I'm not the LEAST bit mechanical
I am mechanically challenged also. I bought mine from a Ford dealer where lots of guys in the sales. parts,shop areaslove and appreciate dragracing (on dragstrips only). It's like having amini-Ford team working on my mustang with me. They even share the driving at the strip. I feel comfortable with the warranty issues. I am slowly but surely replacing all the parts (large and small)that are most subject to stress and breakage.

As far as gas mileage, city driving is like a n/a GT because boost comes on quite late.

I have gotten 28.0 on a long stretch of pure highway driving at 78 w/cruise on... cruise control on the highway seems to stretch the mileage, I have a CAI and predator 91 tune,
I get 16-17 around town unless I "feel the need", then I ignore the mileage.....
