I'm able to get 19-20 mpg on the hwy, but it drops to 13-14 in town because I run it rich under low load and low rpms to limit the amount of bucking from the cam. With my mixture of city / hwy driving I'm usually able to get 200 miles or so before I fill up (I always fill up before dropping below 1/4 tank).
Let me know when you plan on running the car at the track next...I'd like to ride out to do some datalogging with the bottle full.

i would like to get some track time before shawn n head put the new setup on.... hopefully sometime in september i will go and get you to tag along and be my "crew member". got to get by there to get the bottle filled first....
what did you say it would cost for you to change the computer over to the 02 year pcm????
Are you talking about the track rental that TWR is putting together? I may want to run mine too (if I can get a clutch in by then). You have a pm. TECH Enthusiast

you didnt help me though when i had to get the rear end done. you were still here for that. ive helped you multiple times on your exhaust, changing the plugs, putting the nitrous system in the car, taking you to the parts store multiple times in my car to get your parts. dont act like ive never been there for you buddy....
besides, i told you i could help, but there are other things that i need to take care of first.... me n dj have already planned this trip for alil bit. and its the only day i can get shawn n head to look at the srt, so....
i cant speak for casey, and frankly dont choose to either. kyle, he has been out of town so much and with ashley almost ready to pop with the baby.... thats between you two though.

Chris im on Duty today and will be until 10am tomorrow and then i still have to stay here to drive some ammo in the morning so it wont be till about noon till im done...
Then im headed over to VA Speed to do some welding.
Going to try and get my chute cable ran, and start on the bracket for my chute mount.
Then prob head home around 4pm and go to Bass Pro.
It will be my 1st one in 6 weeks LOL
The usually i have to clean house on Sunday and mow the Yard.
Ill see if i can come over and help ya. Maybe for a lil bit in the morning.
Be out at bass Pro and ill talk with ya about it....
Once the heads are on it shouldnt take more then an Hr and a half to get all of the other stuff on.
Your using the correct TQ sequence on the heads right??
