Thanks for the welcome folks.

I did some searching about here and found some good stuff! I had been told about a cabin air filter on the GP, well I found it. Along with about 3lbs of dirt

Cleaned the filter with some compressed air and made a huge difference. Next trip to the auto parts store I'll pick up a new one.

Also thinking about improving the air flow from behind the driver headlight into the air box. The type of mods I like are the ones never seen and keep a certain stealth look. I'm not looking to make major changes to the car, just simple ones.

The only changes to date are tinted windows and K&N filter. It's the base model GP with the drivers package option. Power driver seat and the upgraded wheels. The rest is all the usual stuff.

A few years ago I started running Lucas treatment in there. And noticed a change in engine characteristics, while sitting at a traffic light (foot on brake and in drive) now the engine has no noise inside the cabin or any vibration. Also I noticed a difference in milage. From 20 city / 27 highway to 22 city / 30 highway. The original objective was to keep the cylinders clean and carbon free, and prolong the life of parts with injectors and fuel pump by adding this lubricant.

Lucas Fuel Treatment : Lucas Oil= - Lucas Fuel Treatment

Note: The engine oil during this test had remained the same 10w/30 Mobil 1. Tire pressures also remained the same.

Here in the southwest our fuel is crap, they add 10% alcohol to help keep our air clean. But also in doing this it shortens the life of fuel pumps. I'm sure the newer pumps are designed for this, but I had changed several on my old Chevy. I figure why risk it. The alcohol also absorbs moisture and I believe this is a problem with some drivability issues. I like to avoid the pitfalls of issues and prolems.
