Alot of customers see a gain after installing the supercharger. The one catch to that is keeping your foot out of it. This might be hard when you have the extra power to play with!

I do concur

I gained a little (maybe .5-1) MPG after the Radix install, and while I dont give it hell every day I do see boost probably 4 or 5 times during a commute - rest of the time it usually stayes in vacuum. I can usually go about 400 miles a tank - around 16-16.5 mpg.
