    I bought an ultra gauge during group buy.Then hand calculate to check.Most fill ups ultra gauge within a tenth of gallon or less.But still trying to improve mpg.

    Actually they are not expensive at all. Try modding a Porsche or a corvette. Hell we can put on a 3" lift (don't right) for under a grand.

    He didn't take any pics unfortunately. He was calling it a POS because it couldn't get as high of miles as his *shudder* Chevy, which had hit 1.6m. But what he didn't think about is that the Chevy was on it's 3rd or 4th engine and 5th+ transmission, along with a lot of other replacement parts

    And I'm going for a high mileage record with a "beat-not-babied" daily driver mindset. I'm at 160k miles with a lead foot and 35s, and take it wheeling almost every weekend haha. It'll be seeing Moab at least once this coming year, along with quite a few trips to Windrock, countless camping trips to the GA mountains, and some family vacation to Florida :)

    Nothing done to the internals yet. I want to throw in some exhaust cams but being a full time student has its drawbacks

    Good plan! I love my really cold CAI. Can't get cooler than a snorkel haha. And The URD y-pipe is awesome! I did experience a little gain on that. And I'm saving my pennies for some URD headers at the moment

    After this discussion I actually ordered the parts. I blame you for this...
    But it started me looking for the throttle body ($1200 new :eek:) on Craigslist. Most were around $200-250 range. But found one at a scrap yard, still good, for $75. Should have it all together by Wednesday :D
