Re: mufflers

i have flowmaster 40's w/2.5 exhaust sounds nice at idle. when you wind it out it sounds like the older muscle cars. raps out pretty nice. at 70 on the freeway they are loud. of course that is about 3200 rpms.

Re: C4 and Gas Mileage

8 isnt to far off for milage. my 93 4X4 ranger has a c4 and a stock exployer 5.0 and i get fourteen if i dont drive it like i stole it or go over 60 on the freeway. with 373's i run about 3200 at 60. it's better with 35" on 17's but if i take it up to 70 i drop down to the 10 for milage.

Re: Hello out there

i usally dont fall for claimes like this but i was watching horsepower tv and they did a dyno test on a 350 motor using different plugs to see if the claims were true. they did 3 brands of pluges on the same motor and conditions. and the e3 showed a 10+% increase in power and milage. for me the 50 b...
