Change in setup - better gas mileage?

[DamnYankee]

I think I'm around 8-10 mpg at the moment - mods in sig.

Just curious if I could do some swapping out of parts, maintain performance, but improve mileage?

STS systems are so cheap now (used), would it be worth selling my headers and roller rockers for example and putting the proceeds toward a used STS kit? I know I would still have to throw some additional cash at it, but would that improve mileage?

Any other suggestions? Procharger?

Turbo turbo turbo. I remember when gran nationals were runnin 11's and getting 30mpg.

[DamnYankee]

Any idea how/if a Procharger would improve mileage?

why wouldnt you just keep the headers for the swap to an STS kit...prob wouldnt be a bad idea

[DamnYankee]

Thought you used stock manifolds with STS.

Thought you used stock manifolds with STS.

I dont think it matters...turbo is no where near the manifolds or headers...it goes back where the muffler is

[outlaw_king]

yeah keep your tubes and go STS...

Ducky went from tubes to manifolds after he STSed. Come on duck man pipe up. and tell how it worked.

Some people say that it is better to run stock manifolds with a turbo because you retain more heat within the exhaust system... I would think that wrapped LTs and a free flowing exhaust (not too big of dia.) would be better for an STS setup.
