I just removed the one my bro-in-law gave me. My gas mileage went down to 14mph and I saw no increase in power. JUNK!!

The only thing that works is to build the engine, Cam, Header, Exhaust, and then add a piggy back engine controller to the ECM. With the truck on a Dyno the fuel and ignition can be modified to take full advantage of the modifications.
The other mod that it has been reported can make a huge difference in a stock or modified engine is a MSD or Jacobs multi-spark ignition system. I don't have any definitive data but I think it is because the multi-spark more completely burns the fuel which tricks the O2 sensor into thinking the mixture is lean.

You can buy one off ebay.
They're only $6.99 and they'll add 50% more power and you'll get over 48mpg with it.
You should get one and write an install up on it and post your results.
hehe... terrible domination

BTW, i think cheap enhancement products are never worth the money.

I have a 95 kicks. Just put a spin tech muffler on it, new spark plugs, wires, air and fuel filter. I spent 300 dollars and she runs pretty pretty strong even with the calmini 2" and some 235/75 BFGs on it, she even runs a little better than stock! Oh ya i still get 30 miles to the gallon on high way.... :)

That muffler cost you almost $250? What is so special about it?

I think what he said was $300 for everything - muffler, spark plugs, wires, air and fuel filter
Where did you get $250? Because if you think plugs, wires, air and fuel filter all cost $50, that's wrong too, the 16v wires are more expensive

That's not unreasonable, I get 29/30 consistantly.

With stock tires on my '96 convertible I normally got 30. If I really leaned on it I could get it down to 26-27. When I went to 235/75s, the best I could get was around 26ish adjusted, 24ish indicated.
As far as I've been able to gather on here when this conversation comes up, the '96 model year trucks seem to average a few MPGs better than the others. But then, they also seem to have more than their fair share of that damned ecu leaky capacitor issue, too.

True that ... I've got 3 rigs '91 8v, '93 8v, '93 16v and none have had an ECM problem. I guess I mighta just been lucky (so far).

What cheap enhancements don't work? All those spammers got my money and I won't be the next Ron Jeremy? Crap.
More seriously a better burning spark system won't fool the 02 sensor it just burns better.
Air filter, cams, headers, coil, wires and plugs. these things can be gotten in performance trim for pretty cheap. A good tune up is your best start. Beyond that there are super and turbo charging options. Anybody know why with only 8 or 8.5:1 from factory not many have gone to high compression pistons?
