I live just outside of St. Louis and have an 04 Dark Shadow Gray GT. I've had the car 6 months and love it. So far the car is bone stock. With gas prices the way they are I don't want to add anything that will require me to use premium gas. I enjoy reading the forums. Good stuff.

That sounds like a good way to start. An intake with a high flow filter will probably give me a little better mileage to boot. I usually get low to mid 20's with mostly highway driving. If I get on it around town I get high teens.

Welcome to the forums!!! [sm=welcomesign.gif] Yeah throw a good CAI on there and a h/x pipe with a good cat-back and you will pick up some good power gains as well as maybe a little mpg. Other mods that you can do without useing prem. fuel is bigger tb and plenumn, plenumn spacer/ tb spacer. About the only thing that will require you to use higher octane fuel is if you advance your timeing.
