Sissy Question Since LSA affects emmisions, how much much does it affect MPG?!? <img border="0" alt="[jester]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" /> Seriously, if any of you have been able to keep your foot out of it long enough to notice! She's down to rare weekend duty, and I would love to put a MONSTER, stock head friendly 110-112 LSA cam in there, (TR230?) with the usual bolt-ons, and preferably no tuning. (Hoping 370+ rwhp) Possibly LS1Edit down the road (400+rwhpp?!) But the car is still the weekend trip car, since it's a vert! <img border="0" alt="[pimp]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_pimp.gif" /> So MPG is still a concern. Sorry it's kinda long!

Re: Sissy Question If you have a m6 dont worry about gas mileage it will still be decent now if you have an a4 with a stall and gears then gas is going to geteaten like crazy no matter the lsa.It went like this with me stock bad *** gas mileage then 3.73's better than what I thought I was going to get then I swapped in a converter and went to 3.23s and surprisingly I got good gas mileage even though it wouldnt lock up until 40 mph then came the cam and gas mileage went to ****.It was a 221/221 dur with 510/510 lift on a 114lsa with 4 degrees ground in so you can imagine what your big duration and low lsa will do your mileage.I hope this helped some what.

Re: Sissy Question well, luckily, I have an M6. So basically, I can still get mid 20s, if I set the cruise. This is all theoretical, since I'm sure I'll be getting on it, but it helps to have some pros ready for the wife's cons on why I shouldn't cam the <img border="0" alt="[pimp]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_pimp.gif" /> ride <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I still get between 240-260 miles per 3/4 tank (about 11 gallons) in mixed highway/city driving, about the same as I did stock.
