the perfect gas mileage set up. how would it go.
i know 99% of everyone on here is all about getting the max out of their trucks. im one of those people too. i was just thinking what would a perfect/good gas mileage setup be? keeping it on reasonable budget. do you think 26mpg+ would be achievable?
lets say the truck is:
2000 sierra SCLB 4.8 5 speed.
i would think that you would want a torque cam, elec fans, CAI, exhaust, and a custom tune. i was also thinking that a t56 with the double OD would be helpful for highway if you set the rear end up correctly.

my DD is a 98 ranger 2.5L 5 speed. 215K on it i get about 22mpg. i drive this thing everywhere, and only take the sierra out when im bored. i have a 5 minute drive to work. i was just thinking it would be nice to upgrade the ranger, with something a little bigger, and with more power for highway.
im looking for cheap things. a turbo would tempt me to lay on the pedel.
i like trucks to much to get car.
