Very Cool Idea, thanks BabyDiesel!!!
My car is a little... I mean a lot different.
First its a turbo AWD and anyone in their right mind would not try to make it a FE car.
Its also a automatic transmission. Another major FE problem.
I wanted to have a car that would perform at the track and run decent 1/4 mile times in the 9's at over a 130 mph. I also wanted to have a performance car that could still get great fuel mileage. So I started building the perfect beast. The AWD helps it run sub 1.3 second 0 to 60 mph. The turbo's give it the power to make over 650 WHP when needed. The Engine Management helps me tune all the ECU parameters at my finger tips, including Lean Burn for FE.
The biggest contribute to my FE is my home built Lean burn system. Its design is to be able to run over 30:1 A/F ratios without a miss-fire.
My Lean Burn system makes it possible to run with almost no throttle pumping losses by utilizing the turbo's.
Trying to keep it short so I will call it good. If anyone wants to see more on my car check out my build thread. Thanks again everyone for your builds and camaraderie.
