That's like saying I am looking for a fat and attractive woman.


A big jump in performance and MPG do not go hand in hand. In order to gain performance, you must give up something.

i don't know about that. I can see a tune helping with gas mileage, Tq can not be good for gas mileage. Also my exhaust and intake have helped.

If you are running pig rich you are leaving both power and gas mileage on the table.

pcmforless every day of the week and twice on Sunday. I've had Bryan do several things to my Impala SS and he has been great to work with, great customer service and an all around 11 out of a possible 10.
