Real World Numbers
I'm new to this forum and was wondering if anyone had some real numbers on the new 15609? Also I'm wondering if anyone makes a chip that would allow me to keep using 89 octane fuel?
I'm looking at a K&N drop in filter, 15609 and possibly a chip. Any numbers out there on this combo or on something similar?
Here's what I want: better all around torque & HP with extra emphasis on torque, especially down low where I can use it. I'd also like better mpg.2001 4x4 Lariat 5.4L Scab
Any help is appreciated. Maverick

I think there is a chip that will let you run at 87 octance. Benefit is improved shifting, but little extra power.
If you run 89 and are considering spending $600-1000 on intake/exhaust/chip, is there any problem spending 8c more per gallon for 91+ octane?
Okay, K&N drop in plus Maggie 15609 = about 5-15ft-pounds more at the wheels throughout the usable engine range. Chip is key and can get you 30 more at mid-range, but you have to run the good stuff.
