Update: Hey Aero, here is my fuel milage #'s you are waiting on. This is as accurate as I can figure and was based on only 1/3 of a tank usage. It looks like about the same as I was getting on my stock tires. About 15-16 mpg. This is 75% city driveing and 25% highway. But even the highway miles were somewhat congested most of the time so you might as well consider it all city driving. Those #'s are on par with what I was getting with stock. They could be better but I have a heavy foot sometimes
Also want to Update you on the Smarty, I LOVE IT!! And what I saw on the way to work this morning blew me away! Last night I used the smarty to correct my speedo to the right tire size and checked it with the GPS and it is Right On ! So this morning, I have smarty on level 3 (60 hp with timing) and I reset the overhead Lie-o-meter. Well usually the lie-o-meter tells me I am doing around 17 mpg at around 80 mph on the highway. Well I drove a 6 mile stretch of highway this morning @ 85 mph and the lie-o-meter says I am getting 21.5 mpg.
I am hoping that it is a combo of the 35" tires and the fact that there is more power now at a lower RPM and they are not lugging now. I will know more when I get thru this tank of fuel. But damn!! If I picked up 4 mpg with the Smarty, that was worth the money alone!

I last saw this thread when it was one page lol. That guy saying you only need 100 extra HP get the jr you won't be dissappointed. I'm in your shoes. A sr would be fun but I really don't need that much and definitly don't have the mods to handle it. You have a manual translike mejust use some common sense and your clutch will be fine on sw5 performance. I need to get my egt gauge in though to be safe. I have a boost gauge too but am waiting on installingthat one until I fab up a dual pod a pillar. Can anyone tell me is that a bad idea running without a boost guage or will it be ok for a little while? My way of thinking is egts would be the most important thing to keep a close eye on.. boost is nice but not really necessary??
