Now i may be reading this wrong, if i am i am saying right now i might be wrong, but about 3/4 of the way down is the price schedual. $15 entry for Regular Street Meets, "test and tune" fee during street program - $15.

Hey you guys are doing fine without me! LOL!

I never asked to see his dyno graph

I'm just calling B.S on his 55RWH.P gain with those 3 mods.

4.6's profile shows a homepage with a pic.
It is a 97 4x2 Supercab styleside short box
With the standard wheels for the lariat so they should be 255/70 16.

Neal,

I am not sure if you are still following this post, but I noticed that you are getting 21 MPH. Besides e'fans, pulley's and exhaust, is there any other mod that helps you to achieve such great MPH?

Do you mean MPG?

Oophs...yes, I meant MPG. If I could have the performance I want and get good gas mileage too, that would be best of both worlds. The best MPG I have recorded on my 4.6L is a consistent 17.8 MPG with the FIPK, headers, 4:10 gears, Cat back, etc. At one point, I was actually getting over 20 MPG but I am not sure if the gears or headers or catback dropped the MPG since I added the last three mods at the same time. Regardless of the MPG, I would never go back to a stock 4.6L. It's a good engine, but is lacking in performance in my opinon.
