Does that car already feature cylinder deactivation? Since it's a V8, it might be a candidate, but it might be too difficult to implement.
What do the other (real) experts think?

well the front passenger seats are basically lazy boys. and they are ridiculously hard to remove, so I am not doing that.
no, no cylinder deactivation I honestly do not know how that works.

Oh I know.
Yes mine was one of the good years with the 4.6 northstar. But when you think about its 4.6 liter engine puts out 295 hp/tq and still manages 15-25mpg I say thats tuned pretty well, it is also tuned for performance rather than FE.
as far as FE is concerned it does have room for improvement.
