slowpokebanshee Posted September 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 thanks for all the replies, I checked two tanks of gas in town type driving came up w/10.8 both times, took it to the sand sports how, and more around town driving, and got 11.7...I have a programmer by superchips, everything else is stock, I think I will add headers next, and see if mileage increases Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducman Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 I dont know about your particular application, but some vehicles get better milage with an E-fan (electric fan) to replace the heavy stock fan/clutch assy. Supposed to free up a couple HP and make throttle response much faster. Typical cost is $300+ for a decent kit. A lot of them even cool better than the stock fan. I know when its 100 deg out my 5.4L F-150 feels like it looses 1/2 of its acceleration untill the RPMs get high enough to kick the fan clutch off.
