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.

It's my DD, FI or spray are not really something I plan to do with this car right now.

I drive on average 550 miles a week, but if you do any less then 70-75 you'll get rear ended. So I can't do 55 or 60, trust me I've tried.

What did you do to your tune to save fuel?

I guess just udps

X or H I have read is a waste of money, headers while good, seem to be more trouble then it's worth, gears are going to kill me when I drive 99% highway, and I said I may possibly do suspention, but there is nothing wrong with my stock stuff now. Plus I don't enjoy bottoming out on things all the time, it gets old really really fast. Also it's not that I don't want to spend a lot of moeny, it's more that I don't want to waste money. Fuel mileage is a plus because of how many miles I drive. If I can get a mod and increase fuel mileage, why not.

But it seems like UDP are probably going to be one of if not my last hp increasing performance mod for a while.

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.

If you read my post's you would know that I plan to drag race the car after it's no longer a DD. To elaborate more, it's going to be stripped and completely rebuilt so mod's now really don't have much to do with that down the road. I want the power that 93 octane tune offers, but want to try to get the best mileage out of it since I'm spending so much more on fuel now. I really don't understand why people wouldn't want good fuel mileage if they can get it. When I bought this car I wasn't thinking about fuel mileage, but why not try to get the best out of it that i can?

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

Thanks Jazzer, I'll grab a set of the FLSFC probably soon to enjoy having for DD. For the next 6-8 years it probably won't see a track, but once it gets stripped down to be built into a drag car, it will be getting all sorts of goodies. Maybe some 4.56's too, for all you guys gettin on me for not wanting gears
