Installed Viper TB, aFe CAI and Exhaust
Realizing there have been numerous threads on the installation of CAI and exhaust systems...;I will not bore you with the details other than to say the installations were uneventful.
Presently I have upgraded the throttlebody, installed CAI and exhaust and replaced the engine and differentials with synthetic oil.
Before starting the installations I removed the negative battery cable; not for safety, but to reset the ECU to learn and create a new AF curve.
Over the past couple days I have noticed a difference in throttle response when getting onto the highway, maintaining speed on the highway and there are indications that the gas mileage is better. Determining actual changes in gas mileage will require a few long trips going thru several tank fulls before I can say for sure there is a change.
Before the upgrades I was getting 17-20 mpg HWY depending on driving style, terrain, traffic and weather; striving for 22-23 mpg HWY.
