Question What other mods can I use for a daily driver?

Today I got my butt handed to me by an RX-7. I mean this thing was amazing. So now I want to put more mods on my truck. But I don't what to go to extreme on it because this is my everyday truck. So far I have JL chip, filter,& pulley. What other stuff do you guys think I should put on. I was thinking about the PSP Factory Tech kit, single blade T/B, Electric fan, performance water pump, boost bypass, and finally the oil breather cap. So what do you guys think? The only thing is that I want to keep my MPG the same I am currently getting about 10-12. Will it suffer? Any other suggestion will greatly be helped.



Thanks for the info ahead of time.

I really have no idea because I tried to get his attention to talk to him but he wouldn't rolled down his window and then he took off again. The only thing that I no is that it had a fart tip on it. But it didn't sound like a ricer it sounded like it had a monster engine in it.

See my sig for 'daily driver' mods. Drive 70-80 miles daily--get 14mpg(mostly interstate-75mph). It's at 16,500 miles--no problems and it's quick too . I'm not finished with mods either.

Cool

There's always somebody faster no matter what you do, especially given the constraints of streetability and reliability. The proposed mods that you list will gain you a few tenths, but not enough to handle a real hot car. You'd need to go to the bottle to make futher significant gains. I got my *** handed to me at Irwindale by an old, clapped out VW bug. I'm laughing to myself when he pulls up in the next lane, and then he lays a 7.68 on me. Oh well, I will settle for being able to beat most of the people most of the time, but far from all of the people all of the time.

If anything those extra mods will help the gas millage.

I have all the mods you are thinking of putting on and it drives great.
