HP & MPG
I'm putting a cat back exhaust on my 2004 V10. What are some other "cheap" upgrades I can do that will help produce a few more horsepower and also help with the MPG? These gas prices are killing me....
-- for those of you that helped me with my exhaust questions, thanks!

I don't think you can find a lighter right foot, I was born with a size 12 that must be made of lead. Let me know if you find a good foot dealer.

try growing up in California just when muscle cars began their reign with a size 15 foot. I lived around the corner from the bay area's largest Cobra dealer. After school we would ride our bikes to the Ford stealership and drool over the 289 AC Cobras. When the 427 monster came out in like 65-66 it was all I could do to sleep at night knowing that car was less than 2 miles away. Then came the Mustang GT 350's, then the Boss 302's, the Boss 429's and on and on. The Mercury Cyclones, the Thunderbolts, man oh man, it was an awesome to be alive during those days. The bad thing was I was not driving age, and I had no money, bummer. But to be around during all the hp wars was amazing. Now, we are going through another era of hp wars, and I'm raising 6 kids, aint life grand ? Which is exactly why I could rationalize my V-10, I loved the technology, I wanted some power, but I had to be practical, so I drive a V-10 extended length van. Yea it gets 12-14 mpg, it also surprises the crap out of people at stoplights. Ken
