As far as the manual rack goes... if you after the last ounce of wasted energy then it's a cheap 3-5 hp savings.
Powders UDP can be gotten cheaper used, some say it got them another 2 mpg, but I only got about 0.5 mpg improvement. The motor idles noticably smoother and is a bit zippier. I put on a Focus Zetec Alt. pulley and it is pretty good, not perfect.

I did the grill block and got rid of the mud flaps tonight. Tried the Home Depot lip to no avail. Being below freezing, it just didn't want to bend around. I might have to find a heated garage to get this done anytime soon. I'm very curious to see how this effects the mileage because I have about 200 miles of highway per week. How did the grill block effect your mileage?

Do you have picture of correct wire?

Well, I can't seem to tell how hard that is to do.

I didn't track mpg improvement of grill block. I just did it before i started tracking.


Bad news. Battery is shot. So this tank is going to be terribly low from excessive idling trying to jump it.

I think over xmas break I might go all out and pull the ac and do a manual steering swap.

I'm just not so sure how hard it is to do and then how much harder it will be to drive with it.
