It is in a GMC Savana 3500 van. Not a race car by far, but my Dad was looking into just a few things to give it a little boost in power. I thought maybe port the maf and do some exhaust. You have a nice truck.........runs really good too!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Anyone else have any suggestions?

I've never dyno'd mine, but I have intake and exhaust mods done and get around high 10's to mid 11's for fuel economy.

I could probably get more if I didn't drag race everyone at EVERY stoplight and didn't bounce it off of the speed limiter all the time! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
