I JUST RECENTLY PURCHASED THE A 02 2WD X XE. I WANTED THE SC BUT I DIDNT THINK IT WAS WORTH THE MONEY. INSTEAD I PURCHASED THE GIBSON EXHAUST SYTEM, K&N AIR FILTER AND SOME NEW PLUGS, AND WOW! I CANNOT BELIEVE THE DIFFERENCE. GAS MILIAGE WENT UP ABOUT 3 MILES TO THE GALLON AND I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THAT IT GETS BETTER ONCE THE MOTOR BREAKS IN. IT ALL RAN ABOUT 200 BUCKS BUT IT BEATS THE SC. I RECOMEND THIS TO EVERYONE THAT FELT THE SC WAS A LITTLE MUCH. YOU WONT BE DISAPOINTED.

Really. You can tell me all about how fast your non SC is after you have finished choking on my dust. If more power is so important to you that you modified a brand new vehicle to get extra hp, don't you think you rushed your decision a bit? :p

i call troll ! K&N dont add any HP ( well maybe 1) Gibson will add couple, but hardly noticable with out dyno New spark plugs? hmm, dono, cant comment ( but dont think will add enough to notice ) so saying that those mods are better or equal to SC is just plain dumn remap your computer , then we will talk Hey Dope, turn off the caplock ! (its realy scary, that we got dopes like that in US millitary)

"My slug is fast . . . " "My SC slug is faster!" "Nuh-uh, I remapped the computer for my slug . . . now it's hella fast!" A bone-stock family sedan will make you weep . . .

...just think about how fast you could be going, if you weren't pushing around 3,900 lbs. with the drag coeffecient of a mobile home in a tornado. My S/C has a G.W. of 4,200 lbs. (without load or occupants). I'd have to be sliding (not rolling) down a glacier of ice with tailwind to be fast. But, if your mods. make you happier with your truck. So be it. Perception is more important than reality anyway. Ignorance is bliss.

Actually, the XOC sticker on the back, in combination with the fuzzy dice on the rearview mirror increased my gas mileage AND HP at the same time

I found that if I turn my engine off going down hills I get better gas milage.. Who would have thunked it? I also have a theory that if I remove the back seats and the bumpers, I can squeak out .0324 mpg in highway driving. :rolleyes: Wonder if I can Ebay that mod?
