Lightbulb How to gain at least 15+ MPG!!!

I just completed this awesome fuel economy mod. I have to get my chip re-burnt to take full advantage. I haven't gone to the strip yet but I think I picked up a few tenths.

You guys might be laughing now but if all of our inter-coolers keep leaking that might be a more reliable means of transportation. I bet you could get one for under 32K to!

I hope that version doesn't have a leaking intercooler. Well at least if it breaks down you can have it for dinner.

YOU should know better, LOL. That picture reminds me of a Seinfeld (sp?) show that had Kramer driving a horse and buggy after he fed the horse beans!

You guys need to get out of the city every now and then. Thats not a horse, not a donkey.....it's an Ox.

I put a Nitrous system on my Ox and it died. Does anyone have a spare Ox?

I think that version does have a leaky intercooler. At least, I see water shooting out the bottom between the two rear pistons occasionally. Fortunately, it refills itself.
