@AMMO I run the plug and play 5.0 yellow box and it's dead on. I was getting just over 11 mpg mixed and 13 freeway when I first got it and tuned it up. Now I get 10 mixed driving most fills sometimes 9 depending on the amount of idling I let it do on remote start and on straight highway like I did this last couple weekends I pulled 11.8 at the most.
@GW Nugget its never been all that peppy of a driver in my experience but the 40's do slow it down off the line, it moved a lot better before the 1-2 shift solenoid started failing shortly after I got it, any more it starts off in 2 so it's a bit of a slug but not too bad, put it into 1st manually and give it skinny pedal and it gets going pretty damn good. I have no problems merging onto the freeway or pulling into traffic on any street...don't have to wait for big clearings or anything, I pass people on relatively flat ground easily on the freeway and on slight inclines on the freeway, she pulls 70 up the Willamette pass no problem but I have to stay on the skinny pedal otherwise I lose momentum quick. I don't have t-case gears which makes it underpowered in some situations, I have only really cursed the lack of power at the dunes in Florence which is a mixed bag because with the power I have it is still enough to do the crap other most people do, but the transmission tends to be the limiting factor with its tendency to upshift at the worst possible moment and then downshift. I think if I had a manual trans I'd be a lot happier with the overall performance and fuel mileage....more on that to come.
