Truck owners with odometer MPG readout, a question..
I have always had good luck using the MPG readout option on the odometer. It seems to be fairly consistant, in that it usually reads about .5 to .75 MPG higher than what I am actually getting.
Now that I have the Whipple on, should I expect it to remain as consistant? I assume that it uses a vacuum signal to calculate it's reading. Will the new combination of vacuum and boost mess with it's little brain and give me screwy readings?

Yes, or was when I first installed the charger. Haven't looked at it in awhile. I just calculate actual.
