STS and my results! After a year and a half of my running down problems here in the northwest designing (rocket booster) muffler tips, and a check valve vented PCV system my forged 346 with high flow cats and wraped x-pipe made 545/525/35mpg@70/7lb with the final tune of Andy at A&A.

I couldn't even get that with my STS before I put the 402 in. Other than that. Nice numbers. Put it to the ground and get some track numbers now.

That sounds awesome! I'm curious. Why did you just go w/ 7#'s vice either a higher setting or a two stage setting? W/ Forged Internals wouldn't you want to get the most out of your engine?

Maybe he was driving down hill a lot on that tank of gas 
I've noticed a lot of haters as well...what's the deal with that? Those numbers look good to me.
Also, how did you get an X-pipe in with the STS???...is it a Vette?

To the poster, good numbers and I apologize for the comments... Who cares what people say on the internet...If you're happy with it and you do get those numbers, mpg and hp/tq, then awesome... I just don't like how some people are overly defensive when they think that someone is talking crap about THEIR sts kit... You would think that they developed it themself...

This cars gas mileage has always 'read' good and I'm using the onboard computers averages. I would really have to check it manually to be sure. But: 32@65mph before, 35@70mph after.
Also, he had to reduce the injector sizing because of a richness issue so that may be throwing it off, but, definitly 30+.
I know with simple $1000 fuel system mods the cars good for 650whp but I've never driven anything close to as fast as this thing finally is.
Cam stock on purpose, so I could maintain the good stock characteristics for trips like the one to Andy's shop.
The car has 42lb injectors so 7lb really did the trick.
PS: If I cared what some people said I would have blown my head off along time ago, and don't give the physco's an excuse is my modo and the Karate does the rest-

Hell yea... I ran 9-10lbs on stock motor with LQ9 heads (drop the compression a touch) all day.... it was when I went to 12lbs that didnt work out for those Hypercrap pistons. If I had a forged setup I would be running 12lbs all day... racing with 15-18 if I could get it.
My setup now is completely different of course...
