As in the post title.
What are the entry-level options for going, errr, a BIT faster and enjoy better fuel economy with the L05? (Yeah, I know how it sounds, but 2 mpg more would be an improvement, right?)
I figure - a TB spacer, improved flow intake manifold, and better exhaust headers would come first, right? What is the actual specs limit for these mods that doesn't require a chip re-tune (which is a PITA, last I heard)? I'd go for a bit of more acceleration in the mid rpm range (for passing by with more confidence at 60-70 mph). (I can already feel people are gonna reply I'm joking, haha!)
One item of note is that a potential L05 Suburban would run dual fuel. This means aftermarket LPG delivery, kinda like in Honda propane-butane powered industrial trucks. LPG for motor vehicles is immensely popular in Europe - first because of gasoline prices (over 6 bucks a gal in most places... Talk about Europoors!). Even the TBI-compliant LPG systems have evolved enough they're not problematic; still, however, LPG is a fuel which burns 'dry' - this means less unburned residues in the engine internals, e.g. valves, cylinders, bores, etc. than running regular gasoline.
