lots more pics up tomorrow.

went from 42mpg average with
stock+
cai (with half dirty air filter), 3mm larger throttle body, removed wipers, removed antenae, 2660 pound weight with driver, no muffler, underdrive pulley, gutted power steering pump being used as an idler pulley for the ac

got 43mpg average with the addition of
hot air intake (with dirty k&n, was broke last week so no new air filter), grill block (pics tomorrow), removed the passenger mirror for one day out of the 3 days on the tank, and a unhooked up ground (was rushed to finish the hot air intake as it got dark), in addition to driving a 6th of that tank in the rain, plus the rear stock spoiler delete

for this next week, im going to do the upper grill block, airdam, change the oil from 5W30 to 0W30 (time for an oil change anyways), delete the drivers mirror (using an inside mirror), along with a new pcv valve, mopar oil restricter in the breather that attaches to the intake so liquid oil doesnt gunk up the intake mani, and clean out the port for the EGR in the intake mani (it looks at least half way clogged), plus a new air filter
