So, a little bit of updates here.

Running the car for awhile now, on my 5th tank of gas. My avg is about 34mpg mostly highway in and out traffic. I have added MMO in my fuel 3 tanks ago and have noticed the engine now lean burn more often. Today I LB all the way from work to home.
I also, added 4oz of MMO vs 2oz. I noticed with 4oz I now have low RPM LB at 2000rpm, once I get in, I can range between 2000-3300 rpm as long as I am lite on the throttle.
Still not sure why I only get 34mpg maybe it's because of the mixed city drives. Maybe it's because I refused to drive like a granny.,.
Over all I think the swap was worth the money($1000) because the engine is much stronger than the y7, and the mpg is the same so far and I am getting better at drivin it.
I would recommand doing this just don't expect the amazing mpg if you don't change your driving habit.
