Gas prices

Ok so im sure we are all glad gas is slowly going back down. But who knows when it will go back up. What are some mods we should do to our 3.8L mustangs to help fuel economy.

lol but then what's the point? personally my sixer has enough go in it to have fun, look into some forged internals, gears, t-loc, heads, mild cam, and suspension. I'm looking into turbo, but it's not the top on my list
if you want power on demand and not going to use it 100% of the time... look into a nitrous kit

Dual exhaust, Brenspeed tune, Cold Air Induction Kit all three work together.

Put your car on a diet--remove anything that you don't use, or can live without. (spare tire/jack, axle weights, heat shields, insulation, a/c, etc.) The best part is its free.

Edit: I have removed about 100lbs from my '07 V6 so far...without touching the A/C.
