Take your bolt-ons off. They will use those modsas an excuse to give you less for your GT. If you want to go faster, get the Mach. Your exhaust, minus headers, will fit on the Mach. So will anything else that doesn't bolt directly to the engine. All the exhaust and drivetrain mods are the same.

I get 24mpg with 4.10s. More power doesn't neccasarily mean worse gas mileage.

gas mileage? who cares? you don't add power to ANY car, and say "boy, i sure hope i still get more gas mileage"........unless you're a ricer
