Default New Mods.

Ok so last week I put the 3923 Autolite plugs in and at first I wasn't too happy with them as I had to go to Flagstaff AZ again and on the way there I was only getting around 13.6 MPG and the week before I put the plugs in I got around 18 MPG, but on my way back I was getting 19.3 to 19.6 all the way back @ 75 to 80 MPH whichI thought was pretty damn good. Now if I could only keep my foot out of it I might get better then 14 to 15 MPG in town.

My Fastman TB came in on Friday and I put it on yesterday and it sure feels good when I step on the go pedel!!! I'll be leaving for Flagstaff again today or very early tomorrow and can't wait to see how it does on gas.
I have some more stuff to say but the wife is telling me I need to take her to the store so I got to go.

Considering that the trip from Phoenix to Flag is all up-hill from 1,000 ft to about 7,000 ft, maybe 13.6 going up and 19.3 coming down is good.

Yeah it is, but I have gotten better then that before, all though I am also carrying a full bed load of Auto Traders going up and not coming downI just got home from there and this time going up I was around 14.5 to 15.3 MPG and coming back it was 21.6 to 21.9 so I'm very happy with the mods I've done so far!!!!

Hey Tuffone20 how much was The TB? Ya we'll have to meet up and check out our different mods and stuff. i think theres a few other guys on here that are in AZ too... THe have get togethers and stuff... My parents live in PHX too 7th st and Thunderbird. I only get only 19.7-20 highway. thats the best i've ever got. When i towed a trailer from Az to OK i was getting like 14-15, i guess thats good. i dont do alot of towing. The trailer weight somewhere around 6000lbs.
