much lighter than the stock one, less power is needed. i idle at about 750 with it on. stronger pull in 1-2 and more mpg

Well im kind of a new guy here.
However it is because i have a v6 02 f150 that decided to clog its 4 catalytic converters. Before you say no there is 2.. like normal vehicles i assure you its 3500 bucks stock from Ford.
A great reason to swap from a 11 mpg with 2 holes in each cat to a 28 to 30mpg 6sp '11 v hb.
I do feel slighted that i dont get more but for the price i paid im very happy to almost triple my gas milage... And hey if you really need to boost your gas milage drive about a cars length or less behind a semi and the draft should increase ya a bit and keep ya under the 70 mph limit.
