On my 5.4 i dont think it really did much for MPGs, but the shifting points/firmness was definitely something i noticed, and it felt like i gained mid range-top end power. I only ran on an 87 performance tune too, never got to try the higher octane ones

Kind of wish i had a V10 just because ive heard custom tunes really wake those things up

Depending on how far into PA it is it should be a doable day trip especially in the econo car you have. I went to the outskirts of Philly to get the rust free body panels (the blue and white) on my truck in a day from another FTE'er

Yeah, it's in Jessup, which is just outside of Scranton. Only about a 3 hour drive. He said he has plenty of other 80-86 ford parts, so maybe I will come out with more. We'll see what happens.

Headed out tomorrow afternoon I think. I was going to make it a trip down to my grandparents' place as well, but I don't think that's going to happen. So it will be a quick trip out and back.
