      properly running(all 3.4Ls are higherly mileage, jsut keep up on maintenance)

      -open up the exhaust
      -intake
      -gears/lsd
      -one piece driveshaft

      and run mid 15s

        Underdrive pulleys are cheap and offer a pretty nice gain.

                    it doesnt add any power, but i like my short throw shifter if you have a 5 speed.

                    performance isn't cheap, if you are lookin for simple, CAI is the easiest. If you get into exhaust manifolds, they aren't exactly easy from what i hear, i have yet to do them.
                    cam, and timing set does wonders as well, not exactly easy either.

                      don't know...apparently some people thought I was advertising or something, though I didn't post any trade names :rolleyes: and apparently they didn't feel people had any interest, aside from their self-serving power trips of board moderation in the lounge forum.

                      but i'm still conducting my own trials with the stuff, and still getting around 30 mpg (though engine preservation is always a good motive too); I went back to HD this morning and bought a quart of xylene, for octane boost (because I'm switching from 89 to 87 gas...it's 10 cents cheaper); I have to find the right concentration.

                      and thanks for the advice.
