I gotta say, I cant really complain about milage. I have gotten above 13 the past 3 tanks and since I did the efans the lowest it has been up is .5 mpg so they do help. The tank before last I got almost 14.
Also all the miles I have logged in fuely have been with winter gas, I peaked at 18 mpg over the summer last year but that's was hand calculated not logged in fuely.

The better or more efficient they run...the better the mileage when driven in a civil manner. Joey, built54's 98 built lightning averaged 16mpg as a dd without really trying. Meaning, he got on it here and there lol.

I don't drive it like a granny but I don't dog it. Normally it will shift right above 2k unless I'm merging on the interstate or something. I also do a lot of city driving because of where I go to school. It's about 12 miles highway and then another 8 miles city driving just to get to campus from my house. I'm hoping to see my average in the low 14s when we get summer gas

You'll still be the one to beat. Do you even need a trans with that turbo?

well that's one way to go at it lmao. how much power would you be pushing at 12 lbs of boost vs at 28 lbs??

a coyote swap would make good power and be pretty efficient with a good tune lmao
