    Default Power v Economy

    ok, i know most of you guys are out to squeeze every possible hp out of your motor as possible, and i see many ways mentioned of doing this.

    but what ways and ideas are about for getting better economy from the motor (V6, VP, auto)

    cai extractors, most external mods that make more power go better on fuel i think. more efficiant way of getting air in and out of motor.

    Spot on, Get the power you want but better fuel econemy also..

    Something i have noticed is since i have removed the bellmouth from my car i have been getting slightly better fuel economy..
    My normal is 410-430km 95% local 5% freeway. Well 1 week after removing the Bellmouth i got 450km all from local driving, And this full tank is heading the same way but maybe slightly better this time, I'm pretty impressed i though the bellmouth being removed might hurt it's economy.
    So now i got what i wanted, More speed but better fuel economy best of both worlds.
