the BEST thing you can do mgp wise is drive like a grandma.. slowly accelerate and coast to stops if that doesnt work haha they have these things called izuzu pups you should try one of those

Volsnt best intake out there with the 4" collector and sealed airbox that bolts up to where OEM airbox is in the filter.

Glad to know your Volant pleases you :)

i love the design of the Volant too...its architecture makes a ton more sense than some of the other aftermarkets out there.

It would be interesting to see a side-by-side comparison.

im sure youve seen pictures of my volant (or if you didnt its in my album) but mine being TBI probably looks a bit different then yours. I really didnt notice anything about the mpg gain, but i dont fill up all the way every time either. When im in my truck, its full throttle or nothing. haha I couldnt even tell a diff in mpg with the fans either, and those 2 mods should put me about 3+ for sure. but beats meee.

your not kidding man. 3.73s,16inch rims, efans,volant intake, msd ignition, brand new tuneup with acdelco shit, new fuel filter, fully synthetic oil with mobil1 filter, injectors cleaned, brand new Ypipe with cat, brand new manifolds, brand new EGR and PCV valve and *** load more stuff all done in the last year and half and still getting terrible mileage. heavy foot i guess. I needa get a new O2 mines a little old. ill do it when i put in the headers. all the fluids have been changed as well including antifreeze. idkk ooh well, i didnt buy the truck to get good gas mileage... :Plugged: ahhaha

haha ya i know it may sound like i'm trying to contradict myself (want the truck but dont want the mpgs) but i'm just looking to pick up a few more mpgs. i avg 13mpg so getting up into the 15-18mpg range isnt too far off from me. even if i stay constant at 15mpg i'll be happy. that $10 or so more at fill up makes a diff even tho it doesnt sound like much.

the guys with the volant CAI how much did you get it for and from where? i know i will prolly end up paying $100+ but i want to find the best deal on one that i can
