    I ran my DC with 882s and stock bumper for almost a year before I got my front bumper. No issues at all. Loved the ride, and the height was great.

    You will get the best results from the stock OEM denso plugs they sell from the dealer, also pull your throttle body away from the intake manifold and clean the grime from around and behind it too, check all your vaccuum lines for leaks and that should help, I was getting 14 ish and now im back up to 17 ish mpg:cool:
