You will gain better gas mileage, but a 7% increase may not exhist. This would cover the cost of the premium fuel.

I wouldnt call it a gain....acutally more like a loss. about 30 fewer miles to the tank, under the same kind of driving ive always done before. The car is running a bit richer, so i wasnt exactly expecting a gain. And i must say that the extra preformance is worth the loss.

I dont know if this is normal, but it is what ive seen.

I may join the piggyback club soon, but I'd rather go stand alone. There is much more control there. The ability to have multiple profiles is also more appealing than the "tunning in a box".

I want to get a few things bought and/or done before I go that route.

Forged Titanium Rods
11:1 Compression JE Pistons
Forged Crank
Light Weight Flywheel
Lighter Pullies
More Aggressive Cams
Double Titanium Valve Springs
Polishing the Head
Headers, Full Exhaust
Hi Flow Cats
Ram Air
Complete Carbon Fiber Body Panels
LSD
Lightweight Sparcos....
...
..
.

After I get a sizeable amount of stuff done, I'd rather get standalone because the Piggyback will not be tuned to these applications. I'll just buy some dyno time...

Then get er' done.

Oh, my point. Got kinda lost there while I was drueling. You can setup a profile in standalone for performance and a separate for normal driving with better gas mileage.

Sorry, my last 76 1/2 cars had double bump sticks. Our cars have two cats, you need two if you are going to pass emissions.

i dont think the axleback is really needed to get close to 30. my ecu is on order. I have the CAI and i am gonna do a dyno run soon after I throw te ECU on. Overall, i also have a ground kit, which should have minor (at best) performance impact, and i'll also install my springs when my calliper paint gets here. may help put power on the ground. same for motor mounts, if i get really ambitous.

as far as a standalone goes, I would love to get one soon, but i just dont have the experience to tune itmyself, yet. I wana study the RRM piggy first. When (or, if) I go turbo, i'll sell the piggy and play with a standalone. emanage's are pretty cheap these days.

So if this new piggyback runs rich like it says, can I buy an s-afc II and get my shop lean it out some?
Anyone?
