Congratulations on your first mod. What do you have planned for the rest of the year?

 

[benvaldi88]

Well I plan on putting in 3.73 gears and magnaflow axlebacks in a month or so, and then from there shorty headers, catted x pipe, UDPs, and then lots of dress up stuff!

are you just putting the shorites for sound?

 

[benvaldi88]

Yea, are long tubes better for power??

Way more Power and Torque and for a few $$ more. Here is my old dyno difference.

Damn man, so whats ur set up for ur exhaust? do you have hi flow cats or just off road x or h?

Just remember that long tubes are not legal in California, if you happen to live here. And I'd recommend 4.10s over the 3.73s, assuming you have 3.55s now. You won't notice enough of a different going to 3.73s or so I have been told. Assuming you aren't going FI then the 4.10s again I would recommend.

Have fun!!

I live in good ole' illinois so thats not a problem and I want to still get reasonable fuel economy and from what I've seen with the 4.10s people suck the gas on the highway

Full JBA LTCARB certified ceremic o/r h exhaust. I think JBA is out of San Diego, CA. As for gas milage with my 4;10 gears, I get 25mpg at 70 mph and 23mpg at 75mph with a 4yr old rich aggresive tune. Some other folks get even better mpg.

Damn, 25 isn't bad at all.. maybe I will go with the 4.10s

If you have'nt done your suspension I have a geat set up with on 8k miles on them, Takico D Struts with Steeda camber billet adjusters/shocks with extenders - Steeda UltaLite Springs (1.25" drop). Springs are still mounted so its a simple R&R.

I get around 26-27 mpg @ 70mph, but only about 24mpg @ 80mph. In the city, my mpg went up from 18 to 21...
