Message:
I was thinking about puting one in my truck for just alittle more power out of my truck. I already have an intake, exhaust, colder plugs, and new cap and rotor and the truck is runing good. my qestion is will this mod hurt my trucks MPG with the mods that i have and if so by how much? i'm just courieous do to gas prices these days. I am also planing to put a fastman TB on soon if that changes anything.

I think the ussual mpg drop for this mod is around 1 to 2 mpg depending on how heavy your right foot becomes... LOL Will run tid bit richer durring idle the most, so just try to not let it idle that much... Shouldn't be too bad...

You could get that much Gain as well !
Some trucks ( possible certain years )
benefit from 180.
Many say that the 3.9's as well as 5.2's
run optimally at about 180..

What about AN 89` 3.9? Would the 180 hurt my engine at all? How does this add more power?
