Ordered a scanguage today finally! Hoping to get some rpm/load data to decide on gear swap feasability.
I also went ahead and ordered LED's all around (tail, turn, liscence plate, marker, and the 10 on my toolbox). Not sure how much of a difference it will make, but I figure that I'm running about 70watts of bulbs (not including headlights) as I cruise down the road. The new bulbs will use about 12-13% this amount. Hopefully this means I can return to a stock pulley size (I will probably find an aluminum one to save weight) and save some fuel.
Blocked off the lower grille tonight to see what the temp will run on my way to school tomorrow. Averaging just over 27 mpg on this last tank, and all of that was with 500-700 lbs in the box plus a passenger. I'm confident my mods have increased mileage some, just that I havn't had an oppertunity for the gains to show up on paper yet.
