    Hi mate, when you get a chance, stop past the introduction thread and post up a little bit about yourself and your rig

    Gday mate,
    I think that you need to make a decision. Are you worried about fuel economy or do you want more power. In my opinion they are two completly different directions that you want to take your vehicle. While there are some methods for improving both, when you start talking abouut dyno tuning and performance upgrades you are moving away from fuel economy and more towards power.

    Cheers Rob

    hmm thats very true! id prefer more fuel economy rather than power since i not a rev head lol, and i rarely tow things..... just the bugger is so expensive to fill up, and i get very crap fuel econmy... ive done an average on my main tank which is the 80L.. on daily traffic i get 350-360km on that tank..... not impressed lol and im not planing on getting lpg as its near the same price to fill up as fuel these days... Thats why im trying to get as much ideas as possible, and do as much as i can, befor i get it dino tuned
