Thanks for pointing that out but I don't know how much I can go off them. The one is looks to be running e85 which isn't available here and doesn't seem to get that good of mileage to begin with. The other hasn't entered a log for almost a year. I know the supercharger will hinder the mileage that's why I originally wanted one with out it. If I could make it to 30-35 het mileage ill be happy and I think that's possible with a few mods.

I already have a scan gauge II and ill be hooking up a boost gauge so I can watch that and stay out of it, most the time, it is a fun car. I plan a belly pan for the rear for sure and might do some thing for the front. The grill block becomes complicated as the opening is the only air coming in to cool it so ill have to watch that closely. Then for hwy trips out of town rear wheel skirts.
