Default Gas mileage increase?

Will I see any with a Magnacharger or a Whipple? I'm looking at getting into a Z71 but I want to put one of these on for that all the time torque when I get it.

If you buy one for improving economy you will be sorely disappointed. While you will see an increase possibly that's not the primary function of the device

Like I said, I want that torque yesterday kind of boost. But I was curious if there would be an increase in mileage to go along with it.

if you are in boost to feel the torqeue increase your mileage is guaranteed to be worse...

Yes to instant torque with the Magnacharger, more than you'll ever need but when in boost you are simultaneously feeding fuel with that forced air, get it? Out of boost you'll notice a slight increase if any change at all.

I noticed a 3.5mpg decrease after the magnacharger install. All the fun i have while driving it compensates for the sh*tty gas mileage! you wont be sorry trust me!
