gas milage will go up if you dont abuse your new power. its one of those mods like exhaust. for the first few weeks youll probably bury the pedal because its fun. then youll get used to it and look for the next mod to make you grin. its a vicious cycle(and expensive)

Default ***update***

We are leaving for the track in about 10 minutes to put the tune to the test. We went to the track about 2 weeks before the tune and the weather was about the same. its been about 200 miles now on the tune now. He just dug up the old slips so we should have a pretty good before and after. NO MODS have been done since last time. Stay tuned.........

Ok heres the scoop. I'll keep this short and sweet!
.
.
Last Year ET with stock tires, 60* temps, and hypercrap
10.08 @ 69.92 2.31 60'
.
.
Added 33inch tires! same temps, same program
11.01 @ 66.41 2.49 60'
.
.
Ordered Nelson Tune (mild tuning 93hot) 33's, 70*
10.46 @ 67.47 2.48 60'
.
.
Ordered re-tune to the re-tune (more aggressive and removed some TM), 33's, and a wopping 79* temp
10.21 @ 68.95 2.35 60'

Overall i must say I'm very happy with the results. Thanks Nelson Oh and the tune has only been on since tuesday!!! Not even 50 miles on it yet
