2.73's + 6sp = ?mpg

This is a what if... add headers and CAI for added MPG, we are not talking about if this will be fast or anything like that.. how many MPG do you think this combo would net.

I can't say for sure but if you want my 2:73 box ,with less than 3,000 mi. on it you can have it for 400$ plus ship!This way you can find out & tell us if it works to give more MPG!

You might as well say 2.73+5sp=mpg. Because you would never be able to use sixth with this combination.

excellent point.

Why worry about gas mileage with a true/real sports car ?

I got 28mpg on the highway when my C5 was stock. If it ain't broke... don't fix it.
