wow... 2-3mpg seems like an outlandish increase in fuel mileage just swapping from air to nitrogen... im sure you get some kind of increase but that is alot! seems if that were the case then everyone would be running nitrogen in their tires... i thought the biggest benefit was tires lasting longer due to more stable pressure keeping them formed to the road correctly. ill be able to see soon enough!

My car isn't anything special either. but your car sure sounds like it can skate down the road though.

I will get the stuff brought by your house tomorrow when I get off. I just hope I don't forget them in the morning. Clean the dust off the car, tomorrow I will pull some interior peices and scrub the panels in the tub. Should have the carpet out by thursday, will be in LaGrange over the weekend.

I have yet to meet any of these guys yet but I do all my own wrenching on my 04' V. I bought her bone stock last year in August and have installed everything in my sig since then. Today I put in a new CS poly rear diff bushing but it was raining so I have no idea what if anything it did. Hopefully at some point we can meet up somewhere. I know 3rd ID is gone and some of the local members are with them...Any how here is a pic.

Thank you. Can't wait to meet up.

Here is a quick clip of the B&B setup, which is of course the best sounding setup for the V!

Where in Phenix City is the 1/8th mile at? I am gonna have to check it out (I live in PC). Maybe I will make it up to the 1/4 as well but either way it will be a ghey slow roll out for my glass rear end.

do you have your wideband hooked up yet? Chris borrowed my hp tuners and left it in Arizona. I should have it back Monday. We need to load up your old trans tune to try to get that tenth back.
