This. My car is full bolt ons and 4.10'ed. i drive 30 miles each way to school every day ( 55 zones though) and then another 15 each way to work..still get like 21-23mpg...i do have my gas saver 87 tune in though.

i say save fora vortech or nitrous. n20 wont kill your motor. my friend sprays the hell outof his Mach 1 on a 100 all day long and it runs fine.

So you don't want an x or h pipe, you don't want gears, you don't want suspension, you don't want FI or spray, you don't want headers, you don't want to spend alot of money and you want good gas milage.

I guess just udps

That's what I'm saying. Doesn't make sense. He says he just wants a bolt on dd but then talks about the drag strip. WTF?

What i dont get is that he wants to save gas, yet wants/has a 93 tune, if i read correctly?

Gears really are the best bang for the buck... The difference in gas really is up to how you drive it. I get the same mileage as when I was pre-3.73's, I just drive with a light foot. But when I stomp on it, the acceleration is there. But idk it's your money bro, I just don't think noone knows what you want.

I think I might do some pullies next since they might help fuel mileage and seem to free up some tq (kind of the end result of what I'm looking for in this car). My brake upgrade will come after my current brakes wear out and possibly the SFC since you guys brought them up and say they really make a difference.

Actually here's a question for you (or anyone else) since you brought up connectors. Say I was going to turn this into a drag car at some point in the future (I actually do plan on this after the engine and such wears out), should I go for a different set of SFC, or would the MM ones do ok? Realistically, I say 10 second, but I might be more in the 11's when all is said and done. So basically I'm asking if those things would do well on an 11 second drag car as well as a DD... "
A set of FLSFC's are gonna be great, such as those from MM, but could add uppers at a later point if you like. Not "necessary" to have them, but helpful in all reguards to suspension function.

1. FLSFC's ~ first mod
2. LCA's ~ I have a list of "Jazzer approved" types in my suspension guide
3. Stop here, until your final direction is decided ~ corner or drag
