Your horsepower seems extremely low for that PSI range, and that unit... I run the Novi unit, which is a little bigger, but not that much as your's, and I'm seeing 10PSI 466rwhp with a PI triple disc high stall as well.

I'm also running a Brenspeed Email tune on my car :| checked everything on the dyno, and it’s all spot on... Maybe you should find a new tuner for it that can promise you better results before you spend the money.

Food for thought, some 3.73 gears at least would help that supercharger out a lot… I get 24 MPG’s on the freeway with mine, and my supercharger… it really isn’t that bad to daily drive… but you sound like you have made up your mind.

Are you serious ? What size injectors are you running ? My gas mileage went to shit after installing my Paxton and 5.0. I'm getting about 10mpg in town and the best I've seen on the highway so far is 16. I'm hoping maybe this motor just isn't broken in yet. I have 3:55's too.

great info and i'll keep this updated. the car is at the tuner now and will be for a couple weeks because i'm going out of town but i'm looking forward to getting it back.

24mpg is pretty good with 373s and once i get mine on the road and really get to drive, i might be very happy where it's at.... we will see, lol.

Yah... I run 39lb injectors. I averaged 23MPG on my trip from California, to Ohio, back to California... and I drag raced in Ohio... I reset right when I left for my trip. Was like 23.6MPG when I got back home.

Remember you are running a stroker / forged short block... It’s not uncommon for the MPG's to drop tremendously with a built motor and more boost tossed into the equation.

No problem man... I also have a 1pc driveshaft, which I'm sure is helping gas mileage a tad with less rotational weight.

FWIW, I averaged 22.1 on a short road trip last weekend. I calculated it manually since my computer read out is way off.

My computer says 19.5 average om my D1. But I know my tune is rich.And my daily comute is 20 miles to work of which ten is highway and ten is stop and go.I am sure it would be better on a highway trip.

Man I gave up on gas mileage a long time ago. Who cares? I don't. Not that I'm rich but no gas mileage comes with the territory with these machines. Just know where your nearest B.P. is at all times.

while i agree, i disagree as well..... a lot of the builds of cars 430-500rw still can get stock or better gas mileage. i've spoken to a few guys getting 28-30mpg with a centri and i think it's amazing. with the car in my sig i get 21 on the highway and stock was about the same.

while gas mileage isn't the most important thing, it sure is cool to improve it along with power output!!

i thought your gas mileage was good but after reading your sig, it's even more impressive. what power are you making??

692whp on pump gas and 740whp on Trick 101. The 10.90 time in my sig is when my pump gas tune made 630whp. I should be around 134 mph now. I will find out Friday.

Are you shifting into 5th in the 1/4?

I have a 08 tr6060 I'm about to put in my car, would shifting into 5th at the track be bad?

Btw sinner, now that you have a roots and a centri, now you've gotta build a turbo one! lol
