I have a Cold-Air Intake, Header, Custom Exhaust, Lightweight Crankshaft Pulley, Lightweight Racing Wheels and several other performance suspension modifications, and Vortekz vortex generators. I am making about 30-40% more horsepower over stock configuration and still getting over 30 mpg at almost 180,000 miles on the engine and chassis.
