azcouesandelk Report post Posted April 5, 2006 Cold air intake and dual exhaust. Also no lift and big tires that kill the mileage more than anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted April 5, 2006 Christian, has a 6" lift with 35's on it. but the guy still says it gets 15 on freeway and 10-11 in town. but it does have forced air intake, K&N filter, and dual flowmaster exhaust Brian, i have a ford right now and the chitbox wont quit breakin down on me every 3-5 months! but when it runs, it runs like a striped assed ape! Ron, man i wish i could find a toyota to my liking, those things do run forever! David, i will have to get in touch with you, how much you think this is gonna cost?

trufletch Report post Posted April 5, 2006 I have a 1998 Chevy 3/4ton xcab w/longbed. big rat 454 motor. I put on a Gibson CatBack exhaust, K&N FIPK (fuel injection performance kit) and used a HyperTech programmer. Got more power, better shifting, adjusted the speedo for larger tires. this thing won't take a power chip- it required a reprogrammer. Good luck Trufletch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
