I went through the reservoir over the weekend and refilled it yesterday. Then I went out and did some testing at 16psi last night. So I've probably used around 2 gallons so far. Tuning is easier with e85 but fuel mileage is back where it should be with the pump gas. I like the meth and it will be a lot easier to hit my goals using it.

I bought a 55 gal drum. It is 3/4 gone. two 15 nozzles and daily driving uses it up. My 315's and street /strip boggies love daily driving. What tires are yall discussing. My set up is in my sig.

I had 315 Mickey thompson radials . Got 295's now. I think they fit a 10" rim better. My traction is directly related to timing. If i have 15* from 3500 to 5200 rpm, there is no hope. 9.5-10* helps traction a ton!!!

I completely agree on the 315 fitment. Mine has about a half inch or so of noncontact on the lateral margin of the tire. I think they would fit better on 12" rims. Im pretty surprised MT has these approved for 8.5" rims.

Also during previous 1/4 times are you passing in 3rd gear with 4.10s and at what rpms?

As far as MPG, I have no idea. I romp on it way too much to care about it. Only way I will keep track of mpg's is if I take it on a road trip. I did get off of ethanol because of the mpg's but I don't know if it was getting 12mpgs or 5mpgs. All I know is that it would run out of gas far too often

haha maybe I should have asked mpt "miles per tank"
That's what everybody wants to achieve right?...to be passing the finish line in 3rd at peak performance. I was thinking if you raise the boost up do you think you might start shifting into 4th with the 4.10s?
