Well, here are the results since the s/c install. I finally went through a few full tanks of normal driving to get an estimate on fuel mileage with the s/c.
The results didn't seem right at first so I ran through another couple full tanks and got the same results.
Before the s/c, I was avg'ing about 14-15mpg with exhaust, cai, BB tune, and these 24's that weigh 90lbs ea. I was getting an avg of about 300-320 miles per tank before I would fill back up with about 19-20 gallons, mixed city/hwy.
Currently with the s/c (under normal driving conditions), I get about 400 miles per tank, which equates to about 20mpg. I did this through 3 full tanks with the same results. I expected a gain of about 1-2 mpg since the engine doesn't have to work as hard with the s/c, but definitely not the huge gain I'm seeing now. Of course if I'm on it, gas gets guzzled 10 times worse than w/o the s/c. But it's amazing the gain I get when I'm driving it like the avg person.
