They do, but FRPP gears are made specific to Fords likings. Motives are not toleranced like FRPP orders them. Thats why motives are more prone to whine.

how do you get 26 miles to the gallon, i get 23 with the stock gears

for one, this is a 96-04 4.6 section. you having a 06 gt with a different trans and stock gears grants you different rpms at those speeds. if you want to learn about your car, go to the proper section

They are rated at 23 highway. with all the intake/exhaust mods you get increased gas mileage by a few mpg. with full bolt ons you should be able to get about 25mpg on the highway.

True , but I was referring to driving style, I was just wondering if people drive aggressive or tame. I was averaging 15/20 before I dropped the K&N and added the gears, while my driving is short of being a lead foot I do like to get peppy. With performance gains you would also think MPG would either stay the same or drop (not that exhaust and intake mods give you tons of hp).

I punch it sometimes, but after a while you just start to drive like a normal person you know. I pretty much drive the speed limit now always.
