I know I'm not gonna wanna hear the answer to this but what kinda mileage do you get with that beast you call an engine? I really really really wanna do this if employment picks me but I need something else to drive first if mileage is gonna be just plain stupid.

Milage is poor for 2 reasons. Huge cam makes it burn loads of fuel down low inefficiently, also I run a 4,000 stall convertor which chews up fuel when it is continually locking and unlocking in stop and go traffic around town. I run 75lb injectors so they like to dump gobs of fuel even when trimmed back with the Accel DFI.
My guess is i average 6-8 mpg intown, 10-12 on highway. Nice thing about the Turbo is you can drive around and never use its power on the street unless you get on the throttle, whereas a supercharger is completely driven by RPM. Also my boost controller limits me to 7-8lbs max boost on the street.

WELLL...ALL FRICKIN' RIGHTY THEN!
I guess the plenum plate didn't bother me that much...if you've owned enough dodges, Plymouths, and a Chrysler or two, you get used to some interesting situations.
