Put headers on the v10. I get anywhere from 10-11.5 depending on how I drive with headers and a very restrictive exhaust (no cats, 2 huge 15 baffle mufflers), and my 5.9 got 12 with stock manifolds and no muffler, and a CAI. I agree that it drives so much better than a 5.9, it's actually my favorite truck to drive. The extra mile per gallon less is worth it to me.

Up until the late 50's, detroit was doing extremely well.... then population started declining, and after a couple recessions, it just ain't what it used to be. There are pretty signifcant areas that used to be single-family homes, that have been bulldozed, and allowed to go back to nature.... They wanted to shrink city limits at one point, simply because there were large areas where only a family or two lived..... but, that never happened. They went bankrupt instead.

It would be best just to say I seen Detroit cesspool or not :b I will probably be heading out there this summer/fall and we'll definitely seeing by for a visit. Hell maybe you can pin point my vibration right now I'm working on a Hyundai Tiburon I picked up for cheap as a DD while I work on my truck. 38 combined mpg my wallet will like that

Can't get it running with that Alarm tripped. It needs 4 new tires and a timing belt tensioner. Probably brake lines ttyl with or sitting this long and brakes. Easier to get the Hyundai on the road. Shane the stealth is an RT Twin Turbo with rear steer.

I know

Oooooo. I would be REAL tempted to put some effort into the Stealth, that would be FUN to drive.

I want to believe me it's been sitting for years, but you need a high end scan tool to clear the theft codes and my DRBlll doesn't work, and I don't think it will connect to an OBD1 vehicle
