This is cool stuff

1. Delete all the emissions stuff if you want to actually improve mpg. 2. You should have used 2 fans flowing over 2,000cfm. 3. Should have put on a better pulley system (that electric water pump is a great choice). That makes a huge difference. 4. Hooker Super-Comp headers and true dual exhaust would have made a big difference as well.

Noticed yall didn't make sure to tell folks to be sure to remove the old O-ring on the filter. Usually remains in the trans. Double o-ring can cause issues and very likely break the filter itself.

Budget list . . . Synthetic fluids. Rear, trans, engine BLOCK . . . . Which includes oiland cooling. Wetter Water in radiator is BIG . Diet of aluminum intake, water pump, valve covers K+N filter. Max Air pressure in tires and good front AND rear alignment. Smaller diameter / higher Cfm draw fan draws from less of given radiator, leaves more area hot IN the system.

1 fan when 2 would clearly fit?

Who was crossing their fingers hoping they would leave the filter seal in the transmission? I seriously thought they were going to do it.
