    mileage boosted?

    well not sure what everyone gets for mileage but almost half a tank of 93 in 100miles in and out of boost is that real bad for gtx on n/a 9.0:1 bp boost comes in at about 2500 its not to hard to keep it out but it takes getting use to

    and what you guys think i am making for hp&tq at 11psi

    believe it or not my fuel economy went up about 5mpg city and highway...from about 22-23 city and 24-25 highway to very regular 28mpg city and 30-32 highway
    There are no stupid questions, just stupid people.

      i used a little over a quarter of a tank in 100 miles not sure what im getting till its about empty

      i could need a o2 sensor going to replace that real soon along with some magnecore 8.5 mm wires that will go well with my msd coil

        that mileage is horrible. I need to be under almost pure boost to see that. my MPG is far from what it used to be (went up @ first). but i definitely think thats not very good

                  i get 22-25 generally, high 20's on highway trips in warmer weather. ive gotten as good as 35mpg before, when i had 360cc injectors and it was tuned a bit leaner (a bit too lean, made it annoying to drive)

                      woa, that's really bad for a stock bp! how did you drive it? the lowest i've got in my stock bp was 25, which was after i did some suspension work and was driving it like i stole it through a ton of twisty hilly roads to test it out. i get 28 mixed (not driving conservatively) and 31 hwy averaging 70-80mph.

                        My last tank I had 250km's to a tank... and I don't even have a turbo, all I have is a turbo manifold which makes it the map sensor read full throttle at 15% throttle... so it's always running like I have the pedal staked to the ground.

                          My car gets horrible mileage. GTX everything with a 3 inch exhaust, GT head, web/corksport cams (no cam gears), B-code VAF, 255 pump, GTX ecu, completely untuned (black rear bumper to prove it). If I see 20 on the highway I'm thrilled to death since it's mostly around 18mpg traveling 75-80. The car is rediculously fast, But damn does it use gas!

                              yes some cam gears wideband and some dyno tuning is needed georonimo

                              my car feels fast but i don't get into it because i don't want to brake my already messed up transmission i think one of the bearings is bad it whines gets really annoying
