horsepower/mpg with new mods on my 04 gto a4??
I'm bout to buy a few things for the goat. I'm keeping it simple and not making this thing into a race car like I have with my past LS powered vehicles. It's my first automatic ls1, and im curious as to how the foloowing mods will effect my MPG, and also how much power at the crank and at the wheels you think ill be sitting at?
-CORSA catback (for an 04 bumper)
-k&n Cali
-slp underdrive pulley
-Diablo predator (preloaded 93 octane tune)
That's all I'm doing to it. I just wanna know do you think my MPG is gonna go to ****? Or barely be affected in a positive or negative way?? And of course what's the HP you think it'll make based on your own exoeriences

that is what i have done to my 06. Mine is an automatic and I get 16 mpg around town with it and i hit 20 mpg on the highway. Not to sure about the horsepower but the tuners give about 20-25 horsepower.

For the price I'd find a friend or two to go in with to buy Hptuners.....you can do SO much more and get a lot more features end all for $650.
With a 3,000 stall and exhaust only on mine I was getting about 18 city and 22 highway after playing with lean cruise and fuel decell

For the OP. It looks like for the $1,500-$2,000 you'll be spending you won't pick up hardly squat for power. Catback= 5 HP . K&N=5-10 if you keep the hood open, UD=5 and a handheld gives a crappy limited tune. Get some good LTs and a real tune and you'll pick up 25-30 RWHP. As said lean cruise can pick up 10-12% better highway mileage.
For the person asking which parameters I don't know exactly where they are in EFI as I have HPT. With that off the top of my head you adjust under a "lean Cruise" tab where and how much it leans by MAP and RPM, lean out rate, what speeds it enables and disables, delays and timing modifiers.
