gas savers

ok...so ive got a 2000 stang v6 3.8...im lookin to get better gas mileage cause i dont like losin my money...so far im lookin at gettin a cold air intake and a new muffler...i dont kno enuf about cars to kno what else i should get. if it adds power thats cool, but thats not what im lookin for. what should i get...preferably as cheap as possible.

foam or K&N air filter, intake full exhaust, pully set, and dependinf how that v6' likes to run a custom chip(i know most cars run a little rich from the factory)

mufflers wont do much

My Escort with a 2.0L Zetec is rated at 33mpg HW, I have intake, removed the lower resonator, cut a bigger opening in the airbox, but in a K&N filter, and a Ford Racing computer, and FR plug wires(not sure if it helped gas but it idles better).

I went from 105WHP 34MPG HW average
to 117whp 42MPG HW average
then I added a pully and now at 44MPG and 120whp.

wow....what?...sorry man...dont kno much bout cars...and im 16 so im a bit short in the money department...what r some easy mods that i could do...kinda like cold air intake?

ive seen that lil tornado thing for ur intake....whats the deal w/ that...does it work?

undrive pullies is the pully he is talking about. and without switching to dual exhasut there isent any gas saving with a new muffler

yea i kno the muffler wouldnt do nething...i was just sayin the mods i was lookin at doin...what does the pully do? how much would that cost and all?...would u suggest a cold air intake?

yea id just get a ebay CAI. with a CAI and pullies u should get about 3 mpg. and i think i paid about $180 for my pullies

what else could i get...maybe less technical...and what about those tornado vortex intake things? are those things just like crap or do they really work?

what kinda cai would u suggest for my 3.8 v6 automatic? whats the deal w/ the pullys...still not gettin what they do and all that...could u possibly explain for me?...sorry im more of a drummer than a car expert...im tryin to learn...so i figure u guys would b good to learn from :smooch: also does anybody have any sugestions on exterior mods? not ricer...just wanna make it look good...ive already got those tight gt wheels and sports tires...what else u think i should get?

what else could i get...maybe less technical...and what about those tornado vortex intake things? are those things just like crap or do they really work? installing pullies isent technical. just take off the hermonic balancer and put on new pullies. do you have a link to the tornado thing?

what brand of cai...and what size do i need for my car...any diff between the chrome one or anything other than looks? do they add alotta hp? maybe like 3 at the rear wheel

so is it like a set of pullys...or is there one that does better than another? is there anything else that i could do for better mileage other than pullys and cai? whats the deal w/ the turbanator thing? also i just saw a link for a magnetic fuel saver...what the crap is that? its on this site rite above here

r u serious? thats amazing...would a k&n b better...there was one on there for like 50...would that b better?

r u serious? thats amazing...would a k&n b better...there was one on there for like 50...would that b better is it k&n of does it have a k&n filter? one with a k&n filter would be a little better

nvm...it was for like a 98 that had a k&n filter...should i try to find one of those though?
but the main topic that i need asap is a roll bar...u kno anything about those...i kno earlier u said u saw the style bar...but i looked into that and i wasnt sure if it would b safe at all? would the street roll bar at the top of this link b good?
http://www.livermoreperformance.com/mustang_roll_bars.html#ap
or would a style bar be good enough? it said it had a 1/4 in tube which doesnt seem like it would be strong enough in a roll over. i kinda like that 4 point...what do u think?
my moms makin me get one

a 4 point is kinda overkill lol. id just get a style bar

yea i kno it is...but its also like 200 bucks cheaper and its safer...do u kno if the style bar is funtional or more for looks?

by the way...its not me that wants it...its the mom and the g/fs mom...im only 16

would a cai add any power at all or boost mpg even a bit, or would i need the pullys along w/ it to do anything significant?

You may be able to increase you gas mileage a few miles to the gallon, but the money you spend doing that will likely negate any slight increase in gas mileage. Performance is easier to increase than practicality. Your car will never see 40 miles to the gallon. If doing modifications is your thing I can more than respect that, but I wouldn't do it expecting to see a savings in cash. The best way to save gas is to take it easy while driving, keep your trans fluid, engine oil, and rear differential fluid fresh. Just keep up on regular maintenence and you shouldn't see a reduction in fuel economy, that should be the goal. As for the roll bar, I would go with the style bar if I had to have one. The 4 point will definately provide more protection in an accident, but the style bar will look better and the chances of you rolling over are pretty slim. I would try to talk my way around that one all together actually.

Many cars the more N/A mods you do the better the gas gets (to a point) assuming its properly tuned.
