Well I have full exhaust, MSD TFI, 9mm FMS plug wires, Trick Flow Intake, Crane 1.7 Rollers, 4.10's, Flex-a-lite, 180* stat, Cobra Clutch .. I am sure I am missing a few things, but that is about the brunt of it.

My headers are BBK 1 5/8" Shorty, with a Headman Catless H-pipe, and American Thunder Cat-bak exhaust.

It's a 5 spd, and I only drive around town. I get 270miles to the tank, so that is roughly 19.5 MPG around town, and I dont know about on the highway.
