Superchip
Just installed a superchip for my 2001 mountaineer 5.0, with vortex dual exhaust, MAC cold air intake. This chip is amazing, I gave it some gas and I took off, I have the message center so it tells me MPG etc... before I installed it I was registering 14 MPG city, I drove it home and I was registering 19.8 MPG and that is city, I filled up with Super (93). I haven't tested the highway yet but I'm sure it will be well above 20 MPG. I think with this chip I'll have 268.8 HP. Well worth the money.

Good to hear you like your chip. You might want to check your mileage the old fashoned way to verify your mileage. I have heard that chips throw off the computer mileage readout. I noticed maybe 1 mpg with my chip, but I still drive it hard to enjoy the power, so it might be even better.

yeah I was not driving with my normal lead foot, I guess you can say I drove normally, but whe nI resumed with "the way I normally drive" it was 1.5 MPG above normal. So I guess if I don't floor it all the time I can save a lot of gas, lol.
