well. . .Ive got my truck under complete stock. . .and after 2 miles I miss the throttle responce and the fact she'll plant you firmly unto the seat at any gear like a rocket ship. boost seems to take a full 10 seconds to come inafter a shift[:'(]but past that she's still got a little gitty up in her.

Drew, I know how you feel... felt the same way when I put the stock manifold back on... to a lesser extent.


560 miles... 3/4 tank. could this be a 700 miler tank??? I believe I have enough fuel to get home (85 miles with a detour for tranny fluid & engine oil... maybe another 10~15 miles...)

if I drove like a granny doing 60mph I could probably get well over 600mpT. but around here if you do that you WILL get run over.

I might consider shooting for 700 if I have enough fuel in the tank when I get home... I'm sitting around 580 now... +85~90 = ~670. I have burried my needle several times so I know how much more I can go when I get to the E on the gauge.

I lean forward so I dont catch too much wind... [sm=icon_rofl.gif]


99% hiway driving... 170 miles a day to & from work, 2500' elevation gain at work. Then the on the last 2 tanks, boost stays under 10psi. speeds are ~63 (always on the way to work) and I have the vent kit I installed... gives an extra 3~4 gallons of fuel.

check out my mileage thread... the link is in my sig.
