    The fact that i do have the "magical N/A" which somehow manages to get 20+ mpg, flogging it the entire tank, and do 125 with the A/C on, and 135 with it off. Closed course of course. My flame suit is on, but I did hit 6000ish rpm in 5th with stock GE gearing.. And if you run the gear ratios...

    I know, the dreaded question that no one actually cares about (but deep down everyone does. Atleast a little, right?) What is the gas mileage difference between regular gas and E-85?

    speedo cable question?

    For answering your question, I dunno. You need to give more info than that. N/A- Yes, it will work fine Turbo-Maybe. Im not sure if gear sets differ from early 89 to late 89. Pre 89 was 3.9 and post 89 was 3.7. As long as its for the right transmission and gear set, no it wont screw up your...

    Taking some preventative measures..
