OP, if you would state the mpg in MPG and not per tank that would make it a lot clearer for
comparisons. See, stating "I get so and so per tank" doesn't tell me much. Some folks let the
tank go down to near empty before filling and some (me) won't let it go below 1/4.

This isn't MPT (miles per tank) its MPG (miles per gallon), so tell us what the mpg is your seeing.
I suspect your not that far off of normal but I can't say for sure.

I'm in Tallahassee and interested in doing this to mine. I might have to hit you up when I tackle this. I'm ordering my header now and haven't figured out what to do with the rest of the exhaust. My MPG is awful.
