But just as been stated before. A decent filter (K&N drop in or some type of CAI/RAI), shifting at ~2000 rpm, minimal acceleration from stops, not going over 55-60, and even a tune for gas milage will do wonders.
+1 also. slowing to a yellow rather than romping the throttle throught it is supposed to help a lot.
