No windshield wipers

Warm air intake and engina blanket wanted..

Claims tire psi as a mod

And a kill switch, what? Do you choke it or turn the fuel pump off to shut the car off?

Warm air intake and engina blanket wanted (increase in fuel combustion at higher engine temps "within reason")

Claims tire psi as a mod (lower rolling resistance=better fuel efficiency)

And a kill switch, what? Do you choke it or turn the fuel pump off to shut the car off (cut power to the fuel pump)?


epa estimate=33mpg combined
my last 3 tanks =65.9mpg

Probably not more than 2mpg from a drag reduction stand point. It adds about 2mpg in engine temperature optimization as well.
