Highest milage to a tank today!
I could have gotten more but I dind't want to run the tank totally dry, needless to say I still got 352 kilometers to one tank city driving with my mods & crazy tunning, I figure I could of made it to 370 no problems but why kill the pump, so I filled up at 352 kilometers, I'm more then happy.
Soon I'll get even more because I have a problem with my pressure relief valve on the gastank, it always vents to atmosphere so when my gas evaporates from the muffler heat it doesn't go to the charcoal canister but goes right out into the atmosphere.
Like I said, its still pretty damb good with my mods!

Umm... Yeah. Drumhawk, my milage before the mods was in the high 400's like 450+ all city to a tank, so much for LS1 milage, but with my huge cam & heads, 4.10's etc... everyone stays below 300, ie. 250-280 k to a tank, that is why I posted, because even after all my mods I managed to get 352 & still had more left in her, once I fix the evap system I'm hoping for another 10-20 k, I think this is a world record for all city driving & my mods.

it prolly will stay white for a very long time, painting fiberglass hoods make bad things happen. they are soo ripply and ill prepped id have to spend prolly 6hr labour at the body shop just to prep it for paint. end up being a 600 dollar job when im done lol id rather get the car done for this year so i can come out and play, besides it looks good white
