uh ok


who told you that? I think even if it works you will lose the bottom end torque. just fix all the stuff that hould be affecting gas mileage. I get about 300miles to the tank. i used to get 280 but then I went over to pre-mix

Anywho, do a full tune up, adjust TPS, replace fuel filter, new plugs, new plug wires, flush coolant, oil change, new o2 sensor.

Amur: is your sig supposed to have you incorrectly spelled?

I get no more than 230 miles per tank, usually. But that's city driving and reving it out to 6000 RPM's to redline at every stoplight. I also like to leave the revs at about 4000 RPM's when cruising through heavy traffic so I've got some power to move.

On the highway I easily see over 300 to 350 per tank. I'm sure I could go more but I'd rather not miscalculate and run out of gas.

...are you 200 miles per tank based on city driving? If so, it doesn't get much better.

whats with your typing skills??? I hope you don't actually talk that way.

Anyway you will get worse mileage with the 5th/6th port actuators removed or left open.

I drive like a bat outa hell and I can get 360 highway mile from a tank. That is with the secondaries functional. with them wired open, I could get right at 300.
I have several mods including a very low backpressure exaust, ported intake, moded AFM, and others. I think you have issues, more issues than a magazine rack. you need a tune up. also, don't use high octane fuel unless you are running high boost. I get the best times, and the best milage with a good 87 octane. Change you fluids to synthetic (I don't do the oil though) check your tire pressure. make sure your cluth doesn't slip. follow the steps to do a comprehensive tune up. you should see results.
