Does anyone FROM BLUE POWER RACIN DEVELOPMENTS have anything to say regarding my original question to get the car breathing better or getting the fuel consumption down a bit?

And as a pre-emptive post for everyone on here that is going to tell me that easing up is going to help. I AM AWARE OF THIS. What i am wanting to know is what are the best mods to get better economy. I'm not wanting to get 700km+ out of a tank, i could do that anytime i want by driving at 80km/h.
Sorry dude I thought you were runnin that high a revs at 110ish. Well in that case yes the obvious is to lift the right foot a little but you may want to get an ECONOMY tune flashed in. A BPR CAI will also help you cause and give you some KW gains as will a good ZORST. Even a custom (performance) tune will give you better fuel economy than stock as ford run these things rich for safety reasons. Give the boys a call 9305 3000 and your sure to get some answers.

Cheers
Glenn
