I have had my aim at getting 30+mpg on the hwy since I got my car early June. It was cold enough for me to finally do it Friday. Since it was cold, I didnt have to use the windows or ac to keep me at a good temp, also being colder helped with power I will have to assume. 75 mile trip on the highway at about 65-70 mph produced 31.3 mpg. I think I will easily be able to get more out if it. Now I have my sights at 35mpg. I havent done anything to the car yet, so after fixing a few more worn out parts as well as adding some gas saver mods like udps, rockers, behive springs, lighter pushrods (dont know if I can get lighter ones that are stronger though) and an electric fan. It shouldnt be too hard I would suppose.

 

how the hell did you do that? when my stang was basically stock i could only get sometihing like 21 out of the aod.... now after gears and other thing i get an amazing 10-15!

 

lets see 4.30's big tires. thats about right.

tko 600 is a 6 speed right?

 

nope! tko 600 is a 5 speed that is capable of holding a factory warrented 600 foot pounds of torque, the T56 is the 6 speed, And i was talking about getting 21 mpg BEFORE i blew up my aod, and did all the perforamnce modifications

 

well i was saying about your 10 to 15

 

when my car was stock i was lucky to get 15...

granted, my foot is not how you might say


light

 

Wow! 31mpg is impressive. When I was stock, the slushbox was lucky to get 24 on the highway and 15 in the city. Now I get a constant 12.5mpg, no matter how I drive.

 

yea, I was doing 28-29 for a while, but 31 made me smile

 

good job

 

Great job!....Not sure of your trick (maybe 1.00 rear gears?)...but none the less cool!
