I want a little more power and some increase in fuel mileage, not extreme power. I wanted to stay with factory exhaust. I was thinking, Smarty Jr. and one of the cold air intakes ( mabey Bullydog) . Any suggestions or comments?

I would agree with the Smarty JR. As for the CAI. There are alot to choose from, AFE, S&B, Icebox, along with many more, you'll need to do some research.

I love my Smarty Jr ! Plenty of towing power and smoke ! I average 17.1 to 17.5 mpg's (empty) with the best of 18.8 hand calculated. (Lie-o-meter says 19.1 to 19.5 !!) I am happy with my combination. Look my sig, you won't be sorry.

I want the Smarty Jr. for sure, I was just wanting to know some info on the Bullydog cold air intake, it seems to be a little cheaper (is the filter dry or oil filled). I was going to leave the Smarty set on low setting since my tranny is stock, what is thoughts on this?

I have a Smarty Jr, it's an great programmer. Im always on the 70hp (towing) tune. Your trans should be fine on the 70hp tune as long as you don't beat on it all the time. AEM makes a pretty affordable intake. Thats what im running but I switched the AEM filter and now im running an Amsoil Nanofiber.

Joe R. Cheapest I have seen today while out was at Bubbas near the new Walmart(4.69). At Dixie store near my house it is 4.74 But usually this is the best place but I guess since it the 4th they want extra!
