Default lol just kidding!

My GM is a trans am GTA powered with a 1996 corvette LT1 engine full bolt on almost 425hp is fast but im adding a power adder soon (sts turbo)

And about fuel economy i dont see much idea with big tires, I did the EGR removal on my car and fuel consomation went very bad but i dont care!
less thing to clog in the future.

to me to save gas easy way is with very small tires...alot of exhaust flow and poor intake flow.

dodge trucker you gave me plently of help im not making fun of you!
just to me fuel economy with 33 12,5 15 sounds funny!

Mine went at 30k miles

Just looked at mine and its been replaced before because the mesh that was around one of the pipes is cut. Im not even going to bother checking it as atleast it has been changed once. I hope it doesnt go while I own the truck ..... I dont fit that far back in the engine comparment easily. Too bad Im not a midget.

if i wanted fuel milage, i would have bought a small car, i need the truck, tires and the lift where i liveand for the things i do, plus they just look cool too, im just doing some expeiriments to see what can happen, so others may beable to benifit from it, the milage doesnt bother me but more is always better, i just love to play with things when it comes to engines, it didnt make me mad or anything, just having a hard time under standing you, and a pluged air filter and wide open exhaust doesnt make any sence at all...

anyway... all the parts came in today except for the valve cover filter and the egr/pcv cooler, i got the catch can installed, and hopefully have the rest on in the next week or so and try to get some miles on it

I GOT AN IDEA! Before you start removing intakes or plugging them to get better gas mileage (as you may need your clean intake), do this:
All you will need is a saw. Cut out all the floor boards in your truck, and flinstone yourself everywhere. When you have passangers, they can help; no one rides for free.
