You won't get any better gas mileage without first doing some head/intake work on our motors, the intake ports are god awful from the factory. when I was goign to buy Tim's heads off his drag car, he had astock cam in the car, and with an intake/heads ported and what not, got about 30mpg!! so for our cars it's not so much how you changethe computer, you got to change some parts as well.

If you're gonna be getting serious with the car, may want to look into getting HP Tuners or at least finding somebody who has it and knows what they're doing with it, that's what most 3.8 guys do. After that would be pcmforless.
I'm not really looking to get any major HP gains from a tune. The gear change will far outperform any intake, exhaust, and PCM mods. I just want the car to drive better, sooner downshifts, firmer shifts, cooling fans come one sooner, etc.

HP tuner is $400. I would rather pay someone who knows what they are doing to tune the V6. $400 will get a lot of tune!

PCMforless is still an option.

I shot off an email to Devin asking his opinion and suggestions on what I want to do.

Thanks for all your suggestions.
